[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would definitely address it. I am a speech-language pathologist. Does she thrust her tongue forward when she talks or eats? You should find someone who specializes in orofacial myofunctional disorders to make sure that a tongue thrust isn't causing the lisp along and may also be the reason why she needed braces in the first place. If she has a tongue thrust she will continue to push on her teeth, have a lisp and her teeth will go back to her original position post braces. [/quote] Not the OP or any of the PP's, my question is for this pp, my nephew had a cleft palate when he was born and it was corrected at 11 months old. I believe his lisp is from an orofacial myofunctional disorder, do you know if there is an age limit on fixing these? [/quote]
