Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological disorder often characterized by involuntary movements of the tongue and lips. The most common movements of this disorder are lip smacking, sucking movements, and grimacing. Slow and irregular movements that diminish when relaxed and disappear during sleep occur when the disorder affects the trunk and extremities.
