I too, can stick out my tongue while biting down (I have an underbite though) and have also developed a lisp, which is a problem because I'm a speech therapist who is supposed to teach children the correct way to say their sounds (palm to face) I know it will resolve after my surgery, but it is still frustrating. I have to be very conscious of my tongue placement of /s/ and /t/. Making sure your tongue tip is placed on the bony ridge behind your top teeth is a good physical cue to make for /s/ sound correct! Hope that helps a little bitAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929294898350206763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797742049869570606.post-46378294132604324572012-07-16T20:16:05.724-07:002012-07-16T20:16:05.724-07:00I'm 2 weeks from surgery, and my overbite is s...I'm 2 weeks from surgery, and my overbite is soooo bad, I spit when I talk, and struggle to keep my mouth closed when I eat!

And the lisp was really annoying. I was able to compensate most of the time, but had to always concentrate. I learned to form my S's and T's on the roof of my mouth instead of on my teeth. But, when I was really tired, drunk, or my jaw hurt badly, the annoying lisp was there. It will go away after surgery. I bit the tip of my tounge A LOT before I figured it out though. Hang in there!Nicholehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144492826473825108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797742049869570606.post-36272777907143390502012-07-13T11:51:10.301-07:002012-07-13T11:51:10.301-07:00Same here.
