Understanding a tongue tie diagnosis

tie

Ankyloglossia/tongue tie-embryological remnant of tissue in the midline between the undersurface of the tongue and the floor of the mouth that restricts normal tongue movement

Miconception about tongue ties

If the tip of the tongue protrudes over the lower ridge, there is no tongue tie…

Fact: It is more about posterior elevation of the tongue than protrusion, the tongue must elevate to get the nipple to the palate to create a vacuum to express milk from the nipple.

Call The Woodlands Tongue Tie Center, if you are concerned with your child having a hard time feeding.
