Releasing the ties that hold us back.
Why Address This?
When addressing tethered tissue, improving the range of motion of the tongue can have a significant impact on symptoms. By facilitating a healthy range of motion, it can complement therapies aimed at eliminating symptoms. Failure to address tethered tissues-related problems can lead to persistent issues in adulthood including sleep disturbances, headaches, neck pain and speech problems.
What is a Frenectomy?
Frenectomy is an in-office procedure designed to correct a congenital condition of tight lip or tonque frenum, commonly known as a "tongue-tie," that results in the restriction of function. Frenectomy is a safe and effective procedure with rapid healing that helps babies establish a good seal while feeding.
