Tongue Thrust Therapy in Provo

Tongue thrust, also known as an orofacial myofunctional disorder, occurs when the tongue rests or pushes forward in an improper position during swallowing, speaking, or at rest. At Live Well Speech Therapy, we provide specialized treatment to improve tongue posture, swallowing patterns, and oral muscle coordination. Our individualized therapy program typically lasts 7 to 10 weeks and focuses on retraining the tongue and establishing healthy, lasting oral habits. Our goal is to promote proper oral function, proper sleep, improve speech clarity when affected, and support long-term dental and orthodontic health.
