Tongue Ties & Lip Ties
Support for Tongue and Lip Tie.
At MyoLink, we provide gentle, effective therapy before and after tongue or lip tie release. Our goal is to prepare clients for the procedure, promote healing and help children and adults achieve better oral function.
What is Tongue and Lip Tie?
Tongue tie and lip tie occur when the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth or the lip to the gums is too tight or restrictive. This can limit movement, making it difficult to breastfeed, chew, swallow, or speak clearly. If left untreated, ties can affect oral development, feeding, and overall function. Therapy, often combined with a release procedure, helps improve mobility and long-term outcomes.
Who Can Benefit?
MyoLink provides therapy to support children, and adults with tongue or lip ties. Through guided exercises and collaboration with providers, we help improve function, promote healing, and create lasting results before and after release procedures..
Children: Experiencing speech delays, picky eating, or oral discomfort.
Adults: Dealing with tension, restricted tongue movement, or sleep and airway issues.
Families Preparing for Release: Looking for pre- and post-procedure support to optimize results.
