Difficulty latching during breastfeedingClicking sounds while feedingPoor weight gainMaternal nipple painIn infants, this is the most common reason doctors consider treatment. 2. Speech In some children, tongue-tie may affect pronunciation of sounds that require tongue elevation (like “t,” “d,” “l,” “r,” “th”).
However, many children with mild tongue-tie speak completely normally. 3. Oral health & function
Difficulty licking lips or clearing food from teethGaps between lower front teethTrouble with certain oral movements (kissing, playing wind instruments)Should it be done sooner rather than later? It depends on symptoms...

Episode 2: In this episode, we take a deeper dive into myofunctional therapy and explore one of the most overlooked aspects of oral health: tongue posture.

We also discuss what happens when the tongue rests low in the mouth, including how it can contribute to narrow palates, crowded teeth, mouth breathing, sleep challenges, and long-term structural changes. You’ll learn how early habits...
