Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of these case reports was to evaluate the thickness of the lower anterior alveolar trough in patients with tongue thrusting habit.
Materials and Methods: Lateral cephalogram and CBCT was evaluated in these patients.
Result: Both lateral cephalogram and CBCT confirmed reduced thickness of anterior trough in patients with tongue thrust habit.
Conclusion: Depending on the thickness of the alveolar bone, the extend of lower incisor retraction could be evaluated.

Keywords: Tongue, alveolar trough, Lateral cephalogram, CBCT.
