So you shouldn't place your tongue on your front lower teeth? Or you should? Sorry, It's not 100% clear to me in your text.

  Your tongue shouldn't push against your teeth when you swallow (called "tongue thrust swallowing"). Instead, it should press against the roof of your mouth, behind your upper teeth. Ideally, it's something that is noticed and corrected in childhood. Or, like me, you end up in braces (again) as an adult, because your tongue pushed your previously corrected teeth all over the place over the years.

    Yeah, no one said nothing to me about it ever. Is this something one should talk to with their dentist?

      Orthodontist send me to speech terapist. I corrected tongue placement on my own but still have problems during sleep so I’ve booked visit. I’m currently testing these exercises from YT - https://youtu.be/aSdc1pKnqDY https://youtu.be/aSdc1pKnqDY
