It might be due to two things
One being the large size of the tongue compared to your space.
Or
Second being the arch of teeth collapsed or giving less space to tongue.
Next Steps
first reason will not need any treatment unless you have any problem
Health Tips
if it's due to second option then you will require Orthodontist.
