When Kurtuluş visited our clinic, he was concerned about the noticeable gaps between his teeth (diastema) and wanted a healthier, more confident smile. During our comprehensive examination, we also identified that he had an infantile swallowing pattern, a condition that can affect dental alignment and oral health over time.

What is Infantile Swallowing?

Infantile swallowing (also known as tongue thrust swallowing) is a swallowing pattern commonly observed in infants, where the tongue pushes forward against the front teeth rather than staying positioned on the roof of the mouth.
