A tongue-tie release isnāt the finish line, itās just the first step toward better function.
A tongue-tie restricts movement, but simply releasing the tie wonāt automatically fix the problem. Hereās why:
š§ A release gives you mobility
šŖ But myofunctional therapy teaches the tongue how to rest, breathe, and swallow properly
Without retraining:
⢠The tongue can fall back into dysfunctional patterns š
⢠Issues like mouth breathing, low tongue posture & poor swallowing often remain š¤
⢠Thereās a higher risk of re-attachment or scar tissue š
Think of it like joining a gym. The membership doesnāt build the muscle, the training does! šļøāāļø
Function + Frenectomy = Long-Term Success ā
If youāre considering a tongue-tie release for you or your child, make sure therapy is part of the plan. Comment āTONGUETIEā below for more info & my resources sent straight to your DMs. š©
