Signs You or Your Child May Need a Tongue or Lip Tie Release

Difficulty latching during breastfeeding (infants)
Gaps between teeth, especially between the upper front teeth
Speech difficulties or trouble pronouncing certain sounds
Challenges with brushing, flossing, or maintaining oral hygiene
Persistent dental issues despite good care
Jaw discomfort or limited mouth movement
