Beginning Braces

LOL... forgot about this part. At my consult this afternoon, my orthodontist spent a lot of time looking at my tongue, and then told me it was bigger than usual. He was worried that after my braces, my tongue would re-push my teeth back into an overbite position, despite all the work by the braces. It's not really a tongue thrust problem, just that my tongue was too big! He seemed hopeful that the jaw surgery would create more room in my jaw for my freak-of-nature tongue (:P) and told me he used special retainers for such cases, but that was definitely not something I had thought about.

So now I'm wondering if it's possible to "train" my oversized tongue to stay away from my teeth...
