Probably not: Orthodontist always take into consideration the tongue position when they treatment plan an orthodontic case. I would not worry about your tongue position precluding you from getting braces.

Cudos: Cudos to your Dentist for recognizing your anatomic disharmonies. Now make an appointment with a fully qualified Orthodontic specialist for a complimentary Initial Examination to determine the extent of your malocclusion, the effect of your tongue thrust, and your treatment options. Orthodontic treatment corrects malocclusions. Braces are just one of the many types of "medicine" applied. See a Pro
