Tongue thrusting

I recently noticed that I tongue thrust. And well, That has resulted in protruding upper jaw and a receding lower jaw, I believe! I am seriously considering correcting tongue thrusting because I could really feel the pressure on my front jaw teeth. Are tongue thrusters usually mouth breathers?
