✅ Better breastfeeding and swallowing — newborns and infants can feed more efficiently.
✅ Enhanced oral hygiene — greater tongue mobility facilitates cleaning of the teeth and gums.
✅ Improved eating habits — easier tongue movement promotes proper chewing and swallowing.
✅ Support for jaw and dental development — prevents alterations in bite or spacing related to tongue restriction.

Early diagnosis and intervention by a pediatric dentist or oral surgeon can greatly improve a child’s oral function and overall quality of life.

VIDEO: What are the symptoms of Tongue Tie?

Tongue tie, also known as ankyloglossia, is when the tongue is limited in its movements by the position of the lingual frenulum.

One of the characteristics of the lingual frenulum is that it joins from the base of the tongue to the tip, and this creates difficulty in sticking out the tongue, speaking and swallowing.
