Are We All Swallowing Wrong? You May Have Been Doing It Your Whole Life!

Apparently a bunch of us might be swallowing wrong and people on social media are freaking out about it! When you swallow, your tongue is supposed to just chill behind your teeth, but there is something called “tongue thrust” that makes it push forward when you swallow, talk, or even just rest. It creates open bites, and over bites and can happen from stuff like thumb-sucking, allergies, or just plain genetics. So, are we all secretly swallowing wrong and nobody told us? The good news is it’s fixable! There’s this thing called myofunctional therapy that’s basically a workout plan for your tongue, teaching it where to rest and how to behave. The catch? You actually have to practice doing tongue push-ups at home.
