Some gaps between teeth are caused by the tongue. In tongue thrusting, the tongue pushes forward against the front teeth while swallowing, speaking or resting. For patients from Bhuyangdev, we check for this habit whenever the front teeth have spread apart or tipped forward. Tongue thrusting can start in childhood and carry on into adult life without a person noticing it.
The tongue is a strong muscle, and gentle pressure repeated many times a day can move teeth. If this pressure is not addressed, gaps closed with braces, aligners or bonding may open again. That is why tongue habits are part of the first examination for everyone from Bhuyangdev.
The dentist first watches how you swallow and where the tongue rests. The gums and bone are checked too, since loose teeth can make spacing worse. If spacing runs between many teeth, braces or aligners are usually the most effective way to close it. Orthodontist Dr. Tanisha Kkeswani plans these cases and considers the tongue habit when designing the treatment. She explains how the habit affects the plan and what you can watch for at home. If a missing tooth or gum disease is also present, those issues are dealt with as part of the same plan.
Because the tongue keeps pushing, retainers are especially important after closure. Wearing the retainer as advised helps hold the teeth in their new place. Some people wear a retainer at night for a long period to hold the result. Any change in the fit of the retainer is worth mentioning at your next visit. Regular reviews let the dentist see early if spaces are starting to return. Brushing and flossing well keep the gums firm around the teeth. Families living off Ankur Road can learn more about braces and aligners at the first appointment.
