A tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) occurs when the tissue under the tongue restricts movement, which can affect speech, eating, and even breathing.
How a Tongue-Tie Can Affect Health
❌ Blocks nasal breathing – Leads to chronic mouth breathing.
❌ Causes sleep issues – Linked to snoring & sleep apnea.
❌ Impacts jaw growth – Can contribute to crowded teeth & small airway.
Solutions for a Tongue-Tie
✅ Myofunctional therapy can improve tongue posture and strength.
✅ Tongue-tie release (frenectomy) may be needed for severe cases.
✅ Breathing exercises retrain proper airflow.
