Abstract:

The tongue is an organ with multiple functions. Tongue position is closely related to the function of the stomatognathic system. Tongue position is affected by inheritance, acquired behavior, respiratory pattern, teeth loss, defective denture, and other factors. Considering the tongue’s anatomical and physiological connections, medical staff should be conscious of the fact that incorrect tongue position may lead to different local and systemic dysfunctions. Tongue position assessment should be included in clinical examinations to improve the effect of treatments. Knowledge of tongue position is limited in China. This paper reviews the definition and influencing factors of tongue position, the influence of tongue position on the body, and the evaluation and treatment of tongue position to improve the correct knowledge of tongue position among medical staff and to provide references for clinical work.

Key words: tongue position, orofacial myofunctional therapy, malocclusion
