Tongue and lip ties are often overlooked, but they can cause many health problems:
*Feeding (breastfeeding latch issues, pain, poor weight gain, gassiness, texture issues, choking)
*Speaking (pronunciation difficulties, lisp, stutter)
*Dental hygiene (tooth decay, gap in front teeth, difficulty with brushing teeth, grinding)
*Breathing (congestion)
*Sleeping (snoring and sleep apnea)
and more (drooling, TMJ, migraine, neck pain, etc).
