It is never too late to experience relief from symptoms associated with tethered oral tissues! If you have an untreated tongue tie, your body must make compensations for actions your tongue is unable to perform. This can result in unwanted whole body symptoms, including TMJ pain, poor sleep, head and neck tension, tooth decay and more. If you would like to see if a tongue tie is at the root of your symptoms, we would love to help you.

Soft Palate Procedure
One of the procedures we do is called a soft palate procedure. Below you will find the before and after photos for the procedure we performed on one of our patients. In the first photo, you can hardly see her uvula or soft palate at all. In the second photo there is a clear view of her soft palate, uvula, and throat. The tissues are lifted and her sleep quality is drastically improved, her nasal breathing has improved significantly, and she no longer feels the obstruction from her elongated uvula when exercising. This was with a simple, comfortable procedure that takes less than 5 minutes and uses only a numbing rinse. Most patients feel immediate improvements! Have any questions? Feel free to ask!

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?
