Your Tongue-Tie Care

Freeing Up Movement, Naturally

A tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) happens when the thin band of tissue under the tongue is too short or tight, limiting movement. It can affect breastfeeding in infants and speech or oral hygiene later in life.

A release, or frenectomy, is a brief procedure that takes just minutes and typically involves minimal discomfort and fast healing.

Who It Helps

Infants, Children & Adults

Infants

A tongue-tie can make latching difficult during breastfeeding. An early release often improves feeding comfort for both baby and parent.

Children & Adults

Restricted movement can affect speech clarity, swallowing, and the ability to keep teeth clean — a release can ease all three.

Signs of a tongue-tie:

Difficulty breastfeeding

Clicking during feeding

Limited tongue mobility

Speech difficulties

Trouble swallowing

Heart-shaped tongue tip
