What is Tongue Tie Therapy?
Tongue tie therapy is a specialized treatment designed to address a condition known as ankyloglossia, where the tongue's range of motion is restricted due to an unusually short or tight band of tissue (lingual frenulum) underneath the tongue. This condition can lead to difficulties with breastfeeding in infants, can have negative impacts to facial development in children, and oral health issues in adults. The therapy involves various approaches, from exercises that improve tongue mobility to surgical procedures known as frenectomies, which release the tissue. The goal is to enhance the tongue's functionality, thereby improving speech, eating, oral hygiene and even facial development. Understanding and addressing tongue tie early on can lead to significant improvements in quality of life.
Do You Struggle with Tongue Tie Issues?
Dealing with a tongue tie can make eating, speaking, and even breathing a challenge. It often leads to frustration and discomfort, affecting your quality of life and daily interactions.
When the tongue's mobility isn't ideal, other muscles can be recruited which can negatively affect facial development and cause referred pain.
