What Are
Tongue and Lip Ties?
Tongue and lip ties occur when the thin membrane of tissue under the tongue or upper lip is too tight or thick, restricting movement. These conditions can affect a baby's ability to feed, speak, and maintain proper oral hygiene.
A tongue tie limits the tongue's range of motion, making it difficult for the baby to latch properly during breastfeeding.
A lip tie keeps the upper lip from flaring outward, causing similar feeding challenges.
Early diagnosis and treatment help resolve these issues, promoting better feeding, speech development, and long-term oral health.
