A member asked:
I have the spikey tongue thrust appliance, but my mouth is watering all the time. is it usual?

Yes: Any time an appliance is placed in the mouth, the mouth salivates more because it thinks it is food that needs digesting. After the appliance has been in for a while, the body gets use to it as not food and stops the excess saliva flow.

Yes: The appliance is stimulating saliva production.

Very normal: Not only does the appliance being in your mouth stimulate the excess salivary flow in the beginning, but the fact that you are somewhat uncomfortable with it and much more aware of your mouth in general, that you are also more sensitive to everything.
