What are Tethered-Oral Tissues?

    

Tongue-Ties, Lip-Ties and Cheek-Ties are a form of oral restriction known as Tethered-Oral Tissues (TOTs). 


When these tissues are tight, not long enough or flexible enough, they may limit movement, interfere with many oral functions and cause significant health problems.

TOTs can impact children as they progress to pureed food, cup-drinking, straw-drinking and solid foods. They have trouble clearing the spoon with the upper lip or closing the lips together to swallow. Sometimes children are referred to feeding specialists because the are "picky eaters" or "refuse to eat”.

Proper dental growth and development also depends on the tongue’s ability to rest against the palate and move freely in the mouth. A tongue-tie can restrict the movement of the tongue, and change the growth and development of the dental bones and teeth.
