Take a quick peek inside the program.

Understanding Tongue Thrust

A tongue thrust occurs when the tongue pushes forward against the teeth or protrudes between them during rest, swallowing, and speech.

Impact on Speech and Dental Alignment

Speech Disturbances: Can result in lisps and other speech impediments.
Dental Alignment: May cause gaps between upper and lower teeth, hindering proper closure (e.g., open bite or overjet).
Braces Requirement: Increases the likelihood of needing braces.
Orthodontic Relapse: Crooked teeth may reoccur, even after previous orthodontic treatments.
TMJ Issues: Tongue thrust can contribute to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems, affecting jaw function and causing discomfort.

What people are saying about working with Christine

“Our biggest success while working with Christine was seeing our daughter’s smile and teeth shining in the best way possible. Her teeth straightened out and the exercises even helped close her overbite! Our daughter has clearer speech and the need for braces or any other implement has been greatly reduced.” — Alexi. M.

“I had a subtle lisp and misaligned jaw and thought I needed jaw surgery in order to improve my speech. As a voice over actor my speech is my livelihood, however I did not want to undergo surgery. So when my orthodontist referred me to Christine and I learned about her expertise in working with voice professionals and her knowledge about my condition, I decided to give it a go. Working with Christine was the best thing that could have happened to me. Christine’s specialized and specific protocol helped me improve my speech and say clear s-sounds without jaw surgery!” — Michael. M.

“Christine was recommended through our pediatric dentist to work on my daughter’s tongue thrusting and positioning in her mouth, which would also help with her teeth positioning and slight lisp. Christine outlined a clear and understandable protocol and throughout the course, the improvements with my daughter's tongue placement and speech was visibly and audibly improved.” — Caroline W.

After spending all of my teen and adult life with TMJ issues and a splint to correct my bite when I slept - I managed to totally miss the fact that I also was thrusting my tongue and resting it in the wrong position. Referred by my TMJ specialist - Christine was able to pinpoint the tongue issue immediately. Now, after working with Christine, my tongue rest position is pretty close to second nature after being wrong for so long and it's really helped my TMJ issues!” — Erica S.
“Christine's expert services provided for my daughter have made a very positive impact on her holistically. It is easier to understand her, it helped her to chew her food better and my favorite is that it improved her smile without braces! — Laura S.
