Whether you’re seeking treatment for yourself or your child, we’re here to help you achieve improved oral function and overall well-being.

Understanding Lip Ties

Lip ties occur when the thin piece of tissue that connects the upper lip to the gum tissue is overly tight or thickened. This condition can lead to a range of issues such as difficulty breastfeeding for infants, leading to poor latch and inadequate nutrition. Speech difficulties, such as articulation problems or difficulty pronouncing certain sounds. Dental issues, including gaps between the front teeth or improper tooth alignment. Oral hygiene challenges, making it difficult to keep the gums and teeth clean.

Correcting a lip tie through laser frenectomy is crucial for several reasons:

Improve oral function by releasing the tight tissue connecting the lip to the gum. Laser frenectomy allows for improved mobility of the upper lip, enabling better breastfeeding, speech articulation, and oral hygiene.

Enhance quality of life by addressing lip ties early. Early treatment can prevent potential complications and improve overall quality of life, allowing individuals to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Treating lip ties can help prevent future dental issues, such as tooth decay and gum disease, by promoting proper alignment and spacing of the teeth.
