Understanding The Basics

What Are Lip & Tongue Ties?

You know that little “string” you have beneath your tongue? That’s called the frenum, and you also have one beneath your upper lip. The frenum helps your tongue and lip function, but there can be too much tissue or be too tight. A tongue tie is when the frenum restricts the tongue’s mobility and limits the tongue’s functionality. A lip tie is when the frenum restricts the lip’s mobility and normal functionality. That “tiny string” can have profound effects in a breastfeeding infant, a toddler learning to speak/chew, and even in adults with neck tension and sleep disorders.

Treatment

Dr. Lauren takes special care in her clinic to do a full tongue and lip tie release (frenectomy) with her CO2 laser. This procedure is completed in order to give an infant, child, or adult full movement of the tongue and lip without restriction. In children and adults, Dr. Lauren will discuss completing treatment in conjunction with a myofunctional therapist to get the full benefit of the release. The myofunctional therapist will help with the rest positions and exercises to help retrain the tongue from previous bad habits. Overall, a frenectomy will likely improve the ability to eat, speak, and sleep!

Know the Symptoms

A full assessment of related issues is the key to diagnosing a tongue tie.

Adults may experience:

  • Neck and shoulder tension
  • Sleep difficulties (sleep apnea, snoring, grinding teeth, etc.)
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Slow eating or difficulty swallowing
  • Speech difficulties (mumbling, stuttering, etc.)

Infants may experience:

  • Struggle to nurse or take a bottle
  • Leak milk from his or her mouth while eating
  • Make clicking or smacking noises when eating
  • Exhibit slow or poor weight gain
  • Display reflux or colic symptoms
  • Experience lots of gas or continually fuss

Children may experience:

  • Sleep restlessly
  • Speak softly (mumble) or struggle to be understood
  • Exhibit slow or picky eating
  • Choke or gag on liquids or foods
  • Have a strong gag reflex
  • Show signs of a speech delay
  • Grind teeth at night, snore, or sleep with his or her mouth open

If you notice these signs,
call us today to set up
a consultation
for a diagnosis
and treatment.

While they aren’t usually
life-threatening, mouth
restrictions can mean a lot
of unnecessary limitations
to your child’s life.

At Tongue Tie Solutions,
we believe your child should
never be held back
by something
so completely treatable.
