Teenagers
It is never too late to experience relief from symptoms associated with tethered oral tissues! If your teenager has been experiencing symptoms associated with a tongue tie, we are here to help. When someone has an untreated tongue tie, their body must make compensations for actions their tongue is unable to perform. This can result in unwanted whole body symptoms, including orthodontic relapse, snoring, teeth shifting after having braces, poor sleep, and more. If you would like to see if a tongue tie is at the root of your teenager's symptoms, we would love to help you.
Speech difficulties, eating problems, gagging at certain textures, slow eating or taking longer to finish meals, oral fatigue, slurred speech, mouth breathing, snoring, orthodontic relapse, teeth shifting after braces, and grinding teeth. There is a chance your teen could have a tongue tie.

Red Light Therapy
Red light laser therapy is gentle, effective, and can be performed on any age group. It has been used in Europe since the 1970's, and was cleared for use in the United States by the FDA in 2002. It has been shown to bio stimulate tissue repair and enhance tissue healing by reducing inflammation, increasing circulation, and reducing pain. Have any additional questions or concerns?
