Tongue blade instructions

If your child has what we call “single tooth crossbite” or one single top front tooth out of line behind the bottom front tooth we might have recommended the treatment with a single tongue blade. Following are the instructions of how to use it to correct the problem:

1. Bite in the direction necessary.
2. Bite for total of 1 hour each day.
3. Bite 20 seconds, rest, bite 20 seconds, rest etc…
4. Bite for at least 5 minutes at each sitting.
5. Bite for 2 weeks.
6. Return to our office for a checkup to see if you are on the right track!!!
