Effective Tongue Tie Release for Enhanced Oral Function
Specialized Care for Optimal Oral Health
Tongue tie, or ankyloglossia, is a condition that restricts the tongue's range of motion, potentially leading to issues with speech, eating, and overall oral health. At Inspire Orthodontics, located at 424 West End Ave, New York, NY, we offer tongue tie release procedures to help patients achieve better oral function and improve their quality of life.
What is Tongue Tie?
Tongue tie occurs when the band of tissue (lingual frenulum) that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth is too short or tight, restricting the tongue's movement. This condition can affect infants, children, and adults, leading to various complications such as:
- Difficulty Breastfeeding: Infants with tongue tie may have trouble latching and feeding effectively.
- Speech Problems: Restricted tongue movement can impact the ability to articulate certain sounds.
- Oral Health Issues: Limited tongue mobility can affect oral hygiene, leading to an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
- Eating Difficulties: Tongue tie can make chewing and swallowing food challenging.
