For infants, toddlers and even adults, airway health and wellness is tied to the tongue’s ability to function as intended. Tongue-ties and lip-ties can both restrict your tongue and lip movement, leading to a number of structural issues with your child’s facial growth.
Short-Term Concerns
- Difficulty eating
- Consistent mouth breathing
- Snoring
- Lack of energy
- Pediatric sleep apnea
Long-Term Concerns
- Delayed speech development
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Narrow upper and lower jaws
- Long faces or a weak profile
- TMD and other jaw joint issues
