Tongue & Lip Ties ...
It's hard to believe that a small band of tissue under the tongue or lip can cause so many problems throughout the body, not just the mouth. Research has been done for many years on oral ties, but can still be dismissed within in the medical community for the benefits of oral releases. Our bodies are a whole unit, not just parts put together. At the Oral Tie Center of San Diego, we aim to improve overall health through oral function.
How a Tongue or Lip Release Can Hep
-
Sleep Improvement
After a release breathing through the nose improves which allows for a deeper and better quality of sleep. Improving behavior and immune systems.
-
Better Eating
Babies feed more efficiently, whether nursing or bottle-feeding, and older children eat more quickly and stay satisfied longer. Mothers often share that nursing becomes much less painful.
-
Clearer Speech
Small children, who are just learning to speak, often form their first words with less difficulty, while older children speak with added clarity.
-
Less Pain
With tension released in the oral fashia posture improves, and muscles relax in the neck and shoulders which reduces pain.
