A tongue tie is when the small band of tissue under the tongue, called the frenulum, is too short, tight, or thick. This can restrict tongue movement and affect how the tongue functions during swallowing, speaking, and everyday oral activities.

What Is a Tongue Tie?

How can How Can Myofunctional Therapy Help Before and After Tongue Tie Release?

Myofunctional therapy helps by teaching the tongue and surrounding muscles how to move and function properly, both before and after a tongue tie release. Through gentle, personalized exercises, it strengthens the tongue, supports healing, and retrains healthy breathing, swallowing, and tongue posture for long-term balance and comfort.

Tongue ties can also be associated with mouth breathing and tongue thrust, which may affect tongue posture, swallowing patterns, and overall oral function.
