                        Are you or your child Tongue Tied? It’s Hereditary!

The tongue is actually a muscle-a very important muscle in the early stages of development. One of the many important functions of the tongue to e is to assist in shaping and widening the upper arch.  This simple task makes a massive difference in tooth placement as well as determining how tall the roof of the mouth is!  A narrow arch can lead to problems with how teeth fit and function together; a high roof of the mouth can lead to sinus issues, sleep apnea, breathing challenges. 

The whole body is connected…and the tongue plays an important role!  Simple test:  open your mouth as wide as you can without causing any discomfort.  Touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your front teeth WITHOUT moving your lower jaw-keep open as wide as you can.  Do you make it?  Come up short? If you have come up short…let’s talk about your tongue!
