Tooth position and the form of the dental arch are subject to constant pressure from the circum-oral muscles and the tongue. Stable maintenance of the position of the teeth and the form of the dental arch is thought to depend on the balance of these pressures. Literature regarding the association of tongue force and the malocclusion remains controversial. Hence the present study aimed to measure the tongue force among the tongue thrusting patients using piezoelectric sensor and to compare with the control group. The results of the present study showed that there was no statistical significant difference between the two groups. This could be because of small sample size, which leads for future scope to increase in the sample size.
