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 open my bit slighty i actually pull back my toungue instead of pushing it to grab the spit im sucking back then i swallow normal. like im sucking 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 toching my teeth but its when beofre im swallowing my tongue thursts a little bit to get the spit. Also when i do this im puckering my lips ALOT like inward suckingm otion but inside your mouth with oyur lips closed. 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 with braces? 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.

You're still getting used to them. It will pass.

ITS FINE!!! you are thinking WAY too much about swallowing!!! you just got the braces its a new feeling-- just wait to u get them off- you will slide your tongue over and over ur slimy teeth for hours and hours--- dont worry unless you talk funny

the braces you'll get used to them, i got em on like 2 months ago and at first it sucked because ny teeth hurt, but now im fine and im seeing lots of improvement, so dont worry its going to be fine
