🔹A tongue-tie (restricted tongue mobility) can impact more than how we talk. The tongue plays a key role in breathing, swallowing, jaw development, posture, and even sleep.
🔹When the tongue can’t move freely, it may contribute to:
• Mouth breathing
• Difficulty swallowing or chewing
• Jaw tension or headaches
• Poor tongue posture
• Narrow palate or crowded teeth
• Sleep and airway challenges
🧑🏻🎓That’s why proper assessment matters. Addressing a tongue-tie often involves a team approach, including evaluation, myofunctional therapy, and when indicated, a frenectomy.
If you or your child are experiencing any of these signs, a proper assessment can make a big difference. At My Victoria Dentist, we take a whole-person, functional approach to oral health, looking beyond teeth alone.
