A Simple Solution for Better Health
A restricted tongue can affect breathing, speech, and overall oral function. Waterstone Dentistry offers advanced laser tongue tie release. Using the Fotona LightWalker® laser, the restrictive tissue is gently released. This minimally invasive procedure helps improve airway function, speech clarity, sleep, and overall comfort and is ideal for patients of all ages.
Why Laser Treatment Is a Better Choice
Laser frenectomy with the Fotona LightWalker® is a modern alternative to traditional methods, eliminating the need for scalpels or sutures. Because the laser seals as it works, bleeding is significantly reduced, making the procedure a quick and precise solution. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and requires minimal downtime.
The benefits include faster healing, minimal discomfort, reduced risk of infection, and immediate functional improvement. Most patients report an almost immediate improvement in their ability to speak, eat, and breathe more easily.
Post-treatment exercises may be recommended to maximize long-term results. These exercises help strengthen the tongue muscles, ensuring proper function and preventing tissue reattachment.
Signs You May Have a Tongue Tie
Identifying the signs of a tongue tie can help determine if treatment is needed. Common symptoms include, speech challenges, sleep-disordered breathing, restricted tongue mobility, and chronic mouth breathing.
Many patients experience jaw tension or TMJ discomfort related to the restriction, making treatment beneficial beyond just speech and sleep concerns. If left untreated, the condition could contribute to improper jaw development and long-term airway issues, potentially affecting overall health.
