Question by Soul (/users/9639/soul.html) 1913 Feb 12, 2013 at 02:22 AM
Where do you rest your tongue?
I am sure a lot of you have heard about the Buteyko breathing method. There is a proper way to rest your tongue and to
swallow properly. Apparently children who grow up doing it the wrong way, develop narrow palates and eventually need
braces.
When you are relaxed, where is your tongue situated? Is it on your bottom palate or against the upper palate(roof of mouth)?
Also, are you a mouth breather or nose breather? Have you had braces in your life?
If any of you are curious, the proper place to rest your tongue is against your upper palate. Say the letter "n" and that's where
the tip of your tongue should be(two thirds of your tongue should be up against the upper palate).

My tongue doesn't rest properly at all. It barely fits in my mouth since my arches are so narrow. I have horribly crowded teeth
with an overbite and should have gotten orthodontics when I was a kid. My parents couldn't afford them. I'm currently
pregnant, and have temporarily switched to the Weston A. Price diet for pregnant women (minus the grains) to try and prevent
my child from needing braces too.
The first ultrasound we had DID show that our baby has very wide, high cheekbones! I know that we can't rely on that to make
predictions, but I'm still hopeful.
I do tend to think that it's not tongue placement causing narrow arches/overbites, but narrow arches causing poor tongue
placement.
Or maybe I'm WAPF brainwashed, but I really don't think any modern children are nutritionally getting what they need to
support healthy jaw/arch growth.

Tip of my tongues against upper teeth. Old yoga thing. Naturally rests there now.
