What Is a Tongue Tie Specialist or Dentist?

A Tongue Tie Specialist is a medical professional with specialized training in diagnosing and treating tongue and lip ties. These conditions, also known as ankyloglossia (tongue tie) and labial frenulum (lip tie), occur when the thin bands of tissue beneath the tongue or upper lip are shorter than usual, limiting their range of motion. Our specialists have extensive experience in evaluating these conditions and providing personalized treatment options to improve overall comfort and function.

Who Uses a Lightscalpel for Frenectomies in Mesa

Lightscalpel CO2 laser is a non-contact, tissue vaporizing laser that is the efficient, precise, and fast. It does not burn the tissue like Diode lasers. This unique vaporization property actually seals the small blood vessels, resulting in minimal bleeding and better visualization for the doctor to mindfully and gently release restrictive tissues.

What is a
tongue tie?

A tongue tie is a tight string of tissue found under the tongue, that restricts the proper movement and function of the tongue. This restrictive tongue function can have a significant impact on one’s feeding, breathing, sleep, facial development, and overall quality of life.

What are lip ties and buccal (cheek) ties?

Similar to the tongue, there can be ties in the upper and lower lips, and if they are restrictive, they are referred to a “lip tie.” Also, these oral tethers can be found in the upper and lower cheek areas.

Functional
Frenuloplasty

Research shows that optimal primary healing is achieved when the tongue is sutured. This reduces your chance of reattachment.

Team Approach to Success - Best Lip Tie Specialist in Mesa

While many benefits of the release are realized after releasing the “tie”, the release alone will not provide full benefits. Surgical treatment combined with speech, feeding, myofunctional therapy and bodywork with a chiropractor, physical therapist or craniofascial therapist are preferred goals that could lead to even better outcomes!
