If high palate is due to lingual tongue-tie, then once clipped and baby is  
latching deeply and well, breastfeeding itself will help to shape the 
palate to  more normal dome shape.  This can take several weeks or so.  I've also 
 been told by a dentist that manually applying pressure with first finger, 
pad  side on palate, and sweeping from midline to right side, then midline 
to L side  of the palate can shape an infant's palate over time and needs to 
be done  several times per day (not 100% sure about frequency, so anyone 
else who's  instructed this please verify).

Are there any exercises that can help change the shape of  High Arch  
palates
