The respective review article is to provide an overview of the various exercises in orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) as a treatment modality for tongue thrust habit. Tongue thrust is the persistence of an infantile swallow pattern during late childhood. This leads to breathing and speech difficulties, open bite, and protruded teeth. During formative years, most children successfully transition from an infantile to a mature swallowing pattern. However, a few develop a retained infantile swallow and tongue thrust habit which could be due to abnormal habit like thumb sucking or an underlying cause like enlarged adenoids. Adverse effects of these habits can be avoided by early detection and intervention in a growing child. Tongue thrust can be treated in different ways with early diagnosis, removal of underlying causes, correcting tongue posture, and breaking of habit with the use of orthodontic appliances. This review article is focused on the various OMT techniques employed for the correction of tongue thrust. There are several exercises in OMT which can help a child with tongue thrust. These can be performed at home under the supervision of the child's parents. Orofacial myofunctional therapy has provided a dramatic and positive influence on patients treated for tongue thrust. The joy of eating, speaking, and correct breathing can be regained along with confidence, self-esteem, and improved quality of life. Clinically, OMT plays a positive role by not only improving swallow but also the posture of tongue, improper muscle function, and reduces relapse of previous orthodontic treatments.

本综述文章旨在概述口面部肌功能治疗（OMT）中用于治疗吐舌习惯的各种练习。吐舌是指在儿童晚期持续存在婴儿式吞咽模式。这会导致呼吸和言语困难、开颌以及牙齿前突。在成长阶段，大多数儿童能成功从婴儿式吞咽模式过渡到成熟吞咽模式。然而，少数儿童会保留婴儿式吞咽和吐舌习惯，这可能是由于吮拇指等异常习惯或腺样体肥大等潜在原因。通过对成长中儿童的早期发现和干预，可以避免这些习惯的不良影响。吐舌可通过早期诊断、消除潜在病因、纠正舌姿势以及使用正畸矫治器破除习惯等不同方法进行治疗。本综述文章聚焦于用于纠正吐舌的各种OMT技术。OMT中有多种练习可帮助有吐舌问题的儿童。这些练习可在孩子父母的监督下在家中进行。口面部肌功能治疗对接受吐舌治疗的患者产生了显著且积极的影响。患者能够重拾进食、说话和正确呼吸的愉悦，同时恢复自信、自尊并提高生活质量。临床上，OMT不仅能改善吞咽，还能改善舌姿势、不当的肌肉功能，并减少先前正畸治疗的复发，发挥着积极作用。
