I am 27 and I went through myofunctional therapy to get rid of a lisp. I remember doing a lot of these exercises with a therapist before working on S sounds. Even though the exercises weren’t as complex, putting in the extra 2 to 3 hours each day outside of my day job in between sessions with my therapist took commitment. From August 7th 2021 til December 10th 2021, I was able to correct a lisp and fixing my swallow was a huge part of it.

How should I swallow saliva? I am mewing so my tounge should be up. There are two ways I can swallow: 1. Using a tounge like a spoon and taking saliva with the tip of my tongue from down side to up and swallowing 2. Having tounge up all the time and making a vacuum that automatically slides my saliva between tounge and upper palette to throat

My question is where is the tongue while drinking the liquid? Does that part matter?

I've always clenched my teeth or bitten down when swallowing. Is it bcs I have a high palate? I have great tongue suction and can do the cave bites easily and forever.

hi, I cannot understand how to gather saliva to the top of the tongue before getting it up to the roof and swallowing. Like what I try to do is maintaining the back part of the tongue sticked to the roof, but the tip get it to the floor of the mouth and like get some saliva for then getting the tip to the roof again. But while doing this i cannot get all the saliva of my mouth so I what happens it that I swallow but there still some saliva remaining which bothers a lot. I can try swallowing multiple times but I cannot gather all the saliva of my mouth up to my tongue. If I make a suction with my cheeks to get all the saliva I am using my muscles and the tongue pushing the teeth, which would be wrong. Can you help me please?

so when drinking water from a cup, do you suck the water in or do you let it flow?

My cheeks puff out evertime i swallow. Any kind of help would be appreciated

Omg I can’t do this! And squeeezing my jaw joint

My tongue pushes forward when swallowing? What do i do to fix it for good? Edit : I am 18 Male

while being conscious of the way I drink there are two instincts that i notice resulting in different swallow patterns, the first is to continue breathing while i'm sucking the water from the cup into my mouth, and the other is holding my breath as i'm sucking the water into my mouth, swallow then resume breathing. i can equally do both, but as i'm conscious of my ability to do both, i'm not sure which one is correct or more natural. i'd love if you can give a clear answer.

Either should be fine in regards to the actual biomechanics of the swallow because breathing through the nose while you sip the water or breathing after you swallow aren't changing the swallow itself. That is if I am understanding your questions correctly. If my answer doesn't make sense, then please ask your question in a different way. Thank you :)

Btw how to stop swallowing so much. I just cant. It just feels like a physical sensation that is hard to ignore. Pls help. I feel like my life is withering away because of this.... please

I have a problem swallowing liquids , it feels like I'm going to choke everytime I drink anything, so I take small sips of whatever I'm drinking

Try to touch your molars before drinking, it helps the tongue to swallow easily

What does it mean when muscles under your chin buldge? Diagsstric I think they are

I have the same problem and can’t seem to find any info on it.

Should the tip of the tongue move slightly back when swallowing? Or should it remain just behind the two front teeth? Please, any help would be appreciated.

Remain just behind the top front teeth.

Is It normal that when I swallow (tip is on the incisive papilla) the lower part of the tongue behind the tip touches my front upper teeth slightly?
