Tongue Exercise

1. Place the tip of your tongue on your palate, just behind the two front teeth. (Fig. A)
2. The remaining borders of your tongue should be in contact with the inside surfaces of all upper back teeth and gums. (Fig. B)
3. This tongue position should allow to create a seat between the roof of your mouth and your tongue, such that you could create a clicking sound if you opened your mouth quickly.
4. This proper tongue posture can greatly affect the muscle harmony of the jaw and neck, and should be protected at all times in order to develop it into an unconscious habit.
