Tongue doesn't stay just in the roof of mouth, but spills also a bit on the molars of the upper arch. How can I change it?

[Ryouichi]

How can I keep my tongue in the roof of my mouth, when while keeping it there, it also goes a bit on the biting surfaces of the molars of the upper arch. Basically it goes inbetween the lower and upper teeth a bit in the back. I don't bite my tongue because of it, because it's not that much. Or is it not a problem? Perfect mewing means tongue wouldn't go against the teeth's biting surfaces, right?
Thank you!

didn’t understand anything

Ur palate is too narrow. Get it sorted out, u are basically forced to moutbreathe because of that

It’s normal. Unless your palate is unnaturally giga-wide this will happen if your tongue is quite big like mine.

 

[Ryouichi]

It's probably because of under-eruption of those molars, forgot to mention at first.

Is it okay to mew in that case?

No, I don't mouthbreathe at all luckily.

Yeah this. I'd probably recommend face pulling or an actual palate expander until you can fit the tongue up.

I haven’t experienced any dental flare which I assume would be the main concern here. I don’t see why mewing would be a problem otherwise. Applying lateral force with the tongue would shift the teeth but would require a constant, intentional effort. Most of the force from mewing is upward to theoretically prevent downswing of the maxilla.

Basically you’re fine to mew.

is this not normal? its easy for me to mew anyway who cares

Do you also have this?

My palate is not narrow actually, I am quite sure. Dentist also agreed it's wide.

the occlusal surfaces or the sides?

 

[Deleted member 29167]

sides

 

[Ryouichi]

sides

that is normal obviously. if your tongue is against he palate, it touches the sides of your teeth, because that's just where teeth are supposed to be and are. i am talking about teeth laying on part of the occlusal surfaces as well. Not the whole surface though luckily.

 

[Constantin Denis]

it's normal mine touches my teeth too

[Constantin Denis]

the occlusal surfaces?

yea

My tongue doesn't touch any of my teeth when on the palate, not even the sides. 10 teeth show when I smile and I do have a gap. I wouldn't say my palate is unnaturally wide.


Do at least 8 teeth show when you smile?

yes

 

[Deleted member 29796]

Have you been to an orthodontist at any point? A pic would make it easier to see.

No way unless you have: small teeth or a huge tongue
