Orthotropics is an alternative orthodontic technique that aims to correct the alignment of the teeth/jaws by correcting oral posture (by keeping the whole tongue pressed against the palate constantly). could it lead to intracranial hypertension?

No: There is not connection between orthotropics and intracranial hypertension.

No: I know of no literature that links Orthotropics to an increase in intracranial pressure. I am not a fan of Orthotropics because of a lack of documented results as to success.
