@hallo_its_molly: I’ve had this for years and no one had an answer for me. I’ve asked my doctors, dentist. Here I am scrolling through Thyroid videos on tiktok and I realize there’s a reason for it!? “Thyroid tongue is a term sometimes used to describe a scalloped tongue, where you can see wavy indentations or teeth marks along the sides of the tongue. It can sometimes be seen with hypothyroidism, when changes in the body can cause the tongue to become enlarged or swollen and press against the teeth.” #thyroidectomy #thyroidproblems #thyroidcancer

It can also be The "rigid tongue effect" commonly known as a scalloped tongue. This happens when a narrow, constricted dental arch doesn't leave enough room for your tongue to rest comfortably against the roof of your mouth. As a result, your tongue constantly presses against your teeth, leaving wavy indentations or imprints along its edges. The Tools and Procedures Used to Widen the Jaw Orthodontists and airway-focused dentists use specific appliances to spread the jaw open and create room: Palatal Expander (Upper Jaw): This tool fits against the roof of the mouth and attaches to the upper molars. It uses a central screw mechanism that is gradually turned with a special key to apply gentle pressure, physically widening the two halves of the upper jawbone. Mandibular Expander (Lower Jaw): While the lower jaw is a single solid bone and cannot be split like the upper palate, dentists use lower arch expanders to tip or upright crowded teeth outward, creating a wider, more U-shaped lower arch.

It’s your tongue resting against your teeth. I’m a dental hygienist.
