Also, any information on how the tongue shapes the palate and how tongue
ties can cause misshapen palates (especially bubble) would be MUCH appreciated.
~ Jaye,
I don't know of any studies specifically addressing sub-mucosal
restrictions. May exist, but I haven't seen it. As for the tongue shaping the palate,
there is a phenomenon called Wolff's Law, which is basically that muscle
shapes/moves bone. Bone adapts to the work loads on it. Dr. Coryllos pointed out
that in utero, the palate is high and arched at first, then with repeated
stroking/sucking and swallowing of anmiontic fluids, the palate becomes broader and
lower. If the tongue movement is restricted in some way, the lack of
elevation means lack of bone stress/reshaping. The palate remains high and arched or
gets bubbled because perhaps part of the tongue gets up there but the wave
of the entire tongue and smooth lowering/'broadening doesn't happen. Hope
that makes sense.
Peace,
Judy
