Where Should Your Tongue Rest?

Описание: Is your tongue in the proper resting position?

What is the Role of the Tongue

Our tongues are in motion a lot during the day, helping us talk, chew, and swallow, but our tongues play a much bigger role than most of us are aware of. Our tongues have an influence on the position of our teeth, how we breathe and sleep too.
The tongue must be functioning properly or else it can disrupt our airways. This is one reason why it's important for the tongue to have a full range of motion. At night, the tongue should maintain a particular position in your mouth to help you sleep. There's actually a huge connection between the tongue and the other systems in our body.

Where exactly should the tongue rest?

The bottom of your mouth? The top? Maybe floating somewhere in between the teeth.

When your mouth is at rest, your tongue should be against the roof of your mouth, but it should not be pressing against any of your teeth. Your teeth should be slightly apart, and your lips should be closed. Deviations from this positioning can contribute to problems like jaw and neck pain, shifting teeth, breathing difficulties, sleep issues and more.
