An 8-year-old patient comes to the Piano on the recommendation of the dentist because he cannot close his mouth completely (open occlusion). During the check-up, it is found that the tongue is sticking out during swallowing (infantile deglutition) and oral breathing (instead of nasal breathing, which is favourable for correct development). These deviations are frequently found together in small patients who have sucked their thumb for a long time or have had polyps. After wearing a tongue shield for 6 months, it will be recommended to sleep for a long period with a trainer.
