Anyone familiar with speech problems in children having to do with thrusting their tongue when swallowing?

Question

My daughter has been a little delayed in saying her L's, V's, and Th's. I mentioned it to her Kindergarten teacher, and the speech therapist there said to check again in the middle of the first grade. That's where she's at right now so the timing is about right.

On her last visit to the dentist he said that she was thrusting her tongue when swallowing, and put an apparatus in her mouth to help to avoid having braces later. It seems to have made her speech pattern worse having that in her mouth.

When I research on the 'net it seems that this problem normally affects S's and Z's, which she has no apparent problem with.

In your opinion are the two related? My concern is this is not going to correct itself without therapy to go along with the device, but maybe I'm wrong.
