A frenectomy isn’t the finish line—it’s the doorway.
Releasing a tongue or lip tie without pre- and post-care is like unlocking a door but never teaching the body how to walk through it.

🧠 Why PRE-care matters at Sound Mouths:
Before a tongue or lip tie is released, the mouth often has years of compensation.
Our pre-frenectomy support helps:
• Improve tongue awareness and controlled movement
• Reduce tension in the jaw, lips, and face
• Prepare the nervous system for change
• Set the foundation for a successful release
We don’t wait to “see what happens.”
We prepare the mouth before the procedure.
🔁 Why POST-care is essential:
A release creates space—but function must be retrained.
At Sound Mouths, post-frenectomy therapy focuses on:
• Preventing re-attachment
• Establishing proper oral rest posture
• Neuromuscular re-education
• Supporting breathing, sleep, feeding, and speech
✨ Release creates possibility. Sound Mouths creates lasting change

👅 Tongue-Tie Release + Myofunctional Therapy = Functional Gains

Properly releasing a tongue-tie, combined with orofacial myofunctional exercises, can make a real difference in daily life. Benefits may include:
• Improved tongue mobility for speech and swallowing
• Better oral rest posture and lip seal
• Enhanced chewing and feeding skills
• Easier nasal breathing and reduced mouth breathing
• Reduced jaw tension, discomfort, and fatigue
• Better sleep and overall energy
At Sound Mouths, we help ensure that tongue-tie release isn’t just a procedure—it’s a path to lasting functional improvement.

It’s multidimensional and the tongue will play a very significant role!

Oral dysfunction doesn’t emerge spontaneously but often emerges from a contributing factor or dysfunction

We are SO proud of the incredible progress our 10-year-old client has made in therapy in conjunction with his tongue tie release! 💪💫⁣

Here’s what his mom, had to say:
🗣 “My son has made incredible progress with MaryFrances—his lips now close without any tension, his posture has improved significantly, he is no longer a messy eater, and the drooling is completely gone! I truly thought he’d struggle with these issues forever. She is amazing, a miracle worker!” ⁣

😴 Chronic fatigue in children isn’t laziness.
It’s often the result of non-restorative sleep from breathing disorders.

🧠 When the brain is starved of oxygen overnight, kids wake up tired no matter how early they go to bed.
📚 The impact? Struggles with focus, behaviour, and learning.

✨ The earlier we identify and treat sleep-disordered breathing, the faster children can reclaim their energy, mood, and potential.

👀 Parents — if your child snores, mouth breathes, or wakes unrefreshed, don’t brush it off. It’s not “just tiredness.”

Bruxism isn’t a bad habit — it’s often a survival response.
The jaw clenches. The body fights. The brain tries to stay alive.

This is sleep-disordered breathing.
And no, they won’t just grow out of it.

Snoring + teeth grinding = airway red flags.
Listen to them. Then act.
