Lingual Frenuloplasty for Posterior Tongue-Tie

This video highlights advances in the surgical technique with a precision-based approach to releasing the restrictive lingual frenulum as well as the repair with sutures and periacryl glue. Key anatomical landmarks and the necessary depth of release are reviewed, along with specific endpoints that ensure the effectiveness of the procedure.

The Breathe Course is coming up next week! We go into all the details of the procedure and much more! It’s available in person, live stream, and on-demand. https://www.breathecourses.com/

Sleep is essential for every age! Here’s a quick guide on how much healthy sleep you should aim for:

- Preschoolers (3-5 years): 10-13 hours per day
- School-Age Children (6-13 years): 9-11 hours per night
- Teenagers (14-17 years): 8-10 hours per night
- Adults (18-64 years): 7-9 hours per night

Adequate sleep plays a crucial role in emotional, cognitive, and physical functioning. For children and teens, sleep supports growth and development, helping them thrive in their daily activities. For adults, quality sleep enhances mental clarity, mood regulation, and overall well-being.

Getting the right amount of rest is key to feeling your best and staying healthy. Too much or too little sleep can be the sign of a problem!

PALATAL FLUTTER SIGN: EXPLAINED CLEARLY!

Palatal flutter is a test to predict the likely results of treatment in patients who snore.

Have the patient attempt to make a snoring sound with their mouth open, then have them perform lingual palatal suction (LPS) and attempt to make the snoring sound again with their tongue held against the palate.

Sign (+) Positive / Quiet: Patient is able to create palatal flutter noise with the mouth slightly open (mouth breathing) but is unable to create the same noise with the mouth closed, tongue up, nasal breathing*. (*=gentle nasal breathing, not strong nasal snorting).

Sign (-) Negative/ Loud: Patient can create the palatal flutter noise with the mouth slightly open (mouth breathing) and is able to create the same noise with the mouth closed, tongue up, nasal breathing*.

If they are QUIET with the tongue-up (POSITIVE SIGN),  they will probably snore much less when they keep their tongue-up!! —Consider mouth taping, myofunctional therapy, nasal hygiene AND/OR nasal, tonsil, soft-palate, tongue-tie (soft tissue) procedures.

If they are still LOUD with the tongue-up (NEGATIVE SIGN), then they will probably need a more thorough evaluation to fully resolve the snoring. ——Consider mouth taping, myofunctional therapy, nasal hygiene AND/OR nasal, tonsil, soft-palate, tongue-tie (soft tissue) procedures.…. as well as possible palate expansion, weight loss, oral appliance therapy, CPAP, jaw surgery.

What if you cannot flutter your palate? —Test does not apply to your case. —Probably do not have excessive soft palate redundancy. —And, if snoring or obstruction is present, may be related to other sites of obstruction: nasal passage, lateral pharyngeal wall, tongue-base, epiglottis.
