First things first, I\u2019d like to state that there are different types of tongue ties as well as lip and cheek ties. Oral ties encompasses all of these, but since tongue tie is the verbiage everyone knows, I\u2019ll be using it throughout this little post.<\/p>\n

Now, onto the good stuff\u2026<\/p>\n

Tongue Tie is undoubtedly one of the hottest topics in the infant care world, but did you know that adults can have tongue ties too? Not only can we have them, but we can also get them released. Now, the frenectomy procedure for adults and tiny tots (like most other care) is different. For adults, there is typically local anesthesia, sutures, post-procedure wound care looks a bit different and myofunctional therapy is a MUST. One thing that does remain consistent is a NEED for pre and post-release bodycare. As an adult who has had a tongue-tie release procedure, I cannot begin to tell you just how life-changing the experience and outcomes can be. Let\u2019s dive right in!<\/p>\n

How did I know I had a tongue tie?<\/h2>\n

I\u2019d been working in the oral ties space for a few years and found that when parents were hesitant to have put their baby go a procedure, they frequently asked the question, \u201cWhat would the long-term implications be if these ties weren\u2019t released?\u201d It\u2019s a great question and as I found more information on how tongue ties can impact sleep quality, sinus\/facial development, ADHD, tension patterns, etc., the more blatantly obvious it became that I likely had a tongue tie. In fact, every dentist that I have ever seen has commented on how small my mouth was and how there, \u201cwasn\u2019t much room\u201d for them to work. The list compounds:<\/p>\n
