What Is a Tongue-Tie
Lip Tie?
Ankyloglossia, commonly known as a tongue-tie, is an oral condition where the lingual frenulum (the thin tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth) is abnormally tight or short, restricting the movement of the tongue.
A lip tie is a similar condition where the mobility of the upper or lower lip is caused by a tight labial frenulum (tissue from upper or lower lip to your gums). These conditions can hinder basic oral functions like eating, speaking, and breastfeeding in newborns.
The Long-Term Risks of Untreated Tongue-Tie and Lip-Tie
Tongue tie can limit everyday activities and lead to later-life difficulties. If left untreated, tongue tie and lip tie can lead to many complications affecting both oral health and general well-being. Some potential issues include:
- Difficulty in breastfeeding
- Improper jaw and dental development
- Increased risk of cavities and gum issues due to lack of tongue mobility
- Speech issues that persist and require intensive therapy
- Snoring and sleep apnea due to malpositioning of the tongue during sleep
- Impaired chewing and swallowing in adults
- Restrictive tongue movements causing the patient poor oral hygiene leading to dental problems
- Emotional and social challenges associated with eating problems
What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Laser Frenectomy Procedure
At Rosanna Family Dental Clinic, we specialise in frenectomy, which is a gentle and advanced treatment for oral ties. Our tongue tie release clinic in Melbourne offers a safe and minimally invasive tongue tie treatment for adults and pediatric laser frenectomy. Here are the usual steps you can expect during the process:
Thorough Evaluation
- A detailed evaluation is done to assess the severity of the tongue or lip tie.
- We then present options for treatment based on your or your child's needs.
- We also suggest pre-procedure exercises (myofunctional therapy) to help the patient achieve optimal function before and after the procedure.
During Procedure
- A soft tissue laser is used to gently free the restricted frenulum while ensuring minimal discomfort.
- It takes only a few minutes to perform a laser frenectomy, and the accuracy of the laser technology minimises pain by reducing bleeding and swelling.
- We usually perform this procedure under topical and local anaesthesia.
- For children who are anxious, we do provide nitrous oxide sedation, also known as ‘Happy Gas’.
Post-Procedure Care
Our caring team will guide you on post-procedure care instructions
