It is commonly discussed in dentistry, orthodontics, and speech-language care because it can be associated with bite changes and speech patterns. Clinicians use the term to describe a functional habit rather than a disease or a dental material. Tongue thrust is evaluated as part of a broader assessment of oral function, breathing, and dental development."}
