A member asked:
Can you tell me about orthodontic thing to make your tongue stop touching or pushing on your teeth?

Evaluation: Aberrant muscle function problems, including tongue thrust, may have many causes, including neuromuscular, skeletal, and dental. Fabricating a tongue crib for a 34 year old will probably not be helpful unless worn 24/7 forever. Better to determine the cause of the problem and address the cause. Please see a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist for an evaluation.
