Adult With Tongue Tie Treatment Experience

The issues adults have are generally different than those of children.
Many adults are seen with restricted lingual frenum (tongue-tie) and benefit tremendously from a revision. The issues adults have are generally different than those of children. They tend to have tension in their facial muscles, leading to jaw tension and TMJ dysfunction. They may have distorted speech, sleep disordered breathing (SDB), neck and shoulder tension, facial pain or voice strain that also results in a voice disorder. Please click on this link to find out about the experience of one of our adult patients. She acknowledges her various team members who all helped her with her recovery and shares her journey. This patient was seen prior to her revision with a skilled release provider with chiropractic, myofunctional therapy and followed up with both to have the best possible outcome.
