Ok im a mid teenager and i just got braces put on like a week ago. But ive been noticing the past two days that im swallowing wierd with my tongue, almsot like a tongue thrust. I suck all the spit from the out side of my mouth, the Front teeth region where mybraces are to my tongue and swallow. I swallow normal without my tongue touching my teeth but when i suck the spit to the tongue area my tounge pushes forward. Is this becasue of my braces or is this a problem to be concerned aobut. Ive never had a tongue thrusting problem before so why is this weird tongue thing happening now? I talk fine and evrything but is this a habit that will continue or will it go away as i get use to the braces? Answers please.

I've had braces and they do make eating and swallowing really weird. Eventually you'll get used to eating with them and you won't even notice anything. It feels really nice to get them off and be able to eat without getting all that food stuck in them though...

I had braces a few years back and I did the same exact thing! Totally normal! Just wait till you get them off and then you cant stop running your tongue over the front of your teeth and it feels so weird!

It's because of your braces. You'll also have a more difficult time trying to whistle.
