Tongue-Tie & Lip-Tie Revisions 

Welcome to our dedicated page for understanding and treating tongue-ties and lip-ties, where we address your concerns with compassion and expertise.

What is a Tongue-Tie? What is a Lip-Tie?

A tongue-tie occurs when the band of tissue under your child’s tongue restricts movement, potentially impacting feeding, speech, and oral development. Similarly, a lip-tie involves a tight band of tissue tethering the upper lip to the gums, which may affect breastfeeding and can lead to gap teeth.

Identifying the Signs: What Does a Lip-Tie Look Like?

Lip-tie symptoms often go unnoticed. If you’re curious about what a lip-tie looks like, it may present as a tight membrane visible upon lifting the baby’s upper lip, potentially causing issues with feeding. In toddlers, a lip-tie may be recognized by difficulty in clearing food residues during eating or challenges in articulation.
