Better Feeding and Speaking for Your Child

If left untreated, your lip or tongue tie can lead to many unwanted problems. For infants, it can interfere with breastfeeding and cause pain. For older children and adults, it can affect speech, swallowing, and dental development. It can even contribute to jaw pain, headaches, and sleep apnea! By releasing the frenulum, we aim to address underlying issues to avoid these consequences.

Lip Tie Release

A lip tie is when the frenulum connecting the upper lip to the gum is too short or tight. Therefore, a lip tie release is a surgical procedure that involves cutting your frenulum to allow for greater movement of your upper lip. 

Tongue Tie Release

A tongue tie occurs when the frenulum connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth is too short or tight. A tongue tie release is a procedure that involves cutting your frenulum to allow for greater movement of your tongue.
