Hello! I just found one of your articles about the proper placement of the tongue and the ill effects of improper habits and I just needed to thank you. For many years I’ve dealt with overcrowding and feeling as if my tongue is too big for my mouth to the point that I was constantly noticing it many times a day and especially into the night. I tried the exercise about how the tongue should be properly placed and was more than astounded that for that time I was temporarily relieved of my issue! Thank you!
