Question

Difference between simple and complex tongue thrust

Answer 1

.The simple tongue thrust is characterized by abnormal tooth contact during the swallowing act. They exhibit good intercuspation of posterior teeth in contrast to complex tongue thrust 

Answer 2

Tongue thrust (also called reverse swallow or immature swallow) is the common name of orofacial muscular imbalance, a human behavioral pattern in which the tongueprotrudes through the anterior incisors during swallowing, during speech, and while the tongue is at rest. Nearly all infants exhibit a swallowing pattern involving tongue protrusion, but by six months of age most lose this reflex allowing for the ingestion of solid foods

a simple one means problem which is in a starting stage and can be cured easily but if it is a complex stage it needs to be cured faster or else it can lead to lot of damage
