My Adult Tongue Tie RELEASE | Part 4

[@CunoDante0]

Hi Mandy! Thanks for sharing. I just wanted to say that the sensation on the side of your neck that you mentioned around 6 minutes into the video could have been your omohyoid muscle releasing. After the tongue tie was released, it probably allowed your larynx to rest a little lower, which in turn put less strain on your omohyoid. When the omohyoid is tense, it can cause all the muscles on the side of the neck to seize up and tense since it crosses them diagonally. The area you pointed to looks exactly like where the lower belly of the omohyoid crosses. I had this muscle released by an ART practitioner before, and I can tell you how much of a RELIEF it is to not feel that pressure across the side of your neck/upper shoulder area anymore!

[@Patrick-rr2qw]

I noticed when I raise my tongue to the roof of my mouth - I can see my right side of my neck / traps / shoulders pulling (I can see the strings of muscles fibres) if that’s what they are called (probably not) ha! Do you know if this could indicate I could benefit from a tongue release?

[@melanieandcollindonohoue2708]

Thank you SO much for sharing your experience!! I'd love to know how you chose to do the CO2 laser vs dental surgeons or periodontists who use a scalpel instead?

[@lillaperendy]

You know I just had my tounge-tie laser surgery today. Looking at your video it would be a dream come true if I could stick my tounge out like you did before you had yours removed!!! I didn’t think that was a tounge tie what you had. Anyway, I found your vid looking for exercises to do to maximize the result.

[@bradleywilliams2384]

Thanks for sharing, just had all my wisdom teeth pulled and tongue released Friday. I was not given stretching exercises but thanks to you I have some now. Oh and I went to grad school with your friend. Small world, tell her I said hey.

[@HappilyAnonymousGirl]

This gives me so much hope. I have a tongue tie and neck pain, so I’m hoping by getting it removed I’ll also have relief. I’m really glad you described how your neck felt afterward. I was so excited when you were explaining that part.

[@Patrick-rr2qw]

Have you had this done? If so, what was the result? :)

[@bethanymote624]

I was not given any before or after exercies for my tongue tie. thank you so much! I am having a really hard time figuring out how to place my jaw.

[@LovelyRavenBelly]

I just got both my lip and toungue released. It's like a severe cramp under my toungue when I'm not stretching it. So good for me I'm constantly doing my stretches to avoid that lol. My neck and jaw are so relaxed now though! Like i was driving home post op and i thought i was going to faint or something but it was just ive never felt relaxed in those muscles. The tension burst melted away. I am really nervous about the healing process though...

[@kkimberly2004YT]

Wow, I can totally hear the difference already!

[@evieartsandcraftlover1079]

Had mine lasered today . My dentist gave me 7 stitches under my tongue, he also released my buccals, and lip ties.

[@robandmickisuderman9466]

Hi! I am getting my tongue released this next Wednesday and have just started myofacial exercises for my tongue. WOW my tongue is tired. Looking forward to how this will help relieve tension in my neck and shoulders and headaches that I deal with daily.

[@donnaschoen1015]

How are you doing now a year later? Did it help with the headaches and neck and shoulder pain? Anything else you noticed that it helped?

[@jeryani9481]

Please respond to Donna

[@as1996again]

Hi! Do you have any updates?

[@caseywashington7406]

I know it has been 3 years since this video was made. Can you recall if you were told what to or not to eat post release?

[@user-mooli85]

Did you notice that your face has been changed after you’ve done with this? I will do it due face asymmetry issue

[@amandadangerfieldpiano]

Well (I'm rewatching) you may want to stay tuned for my video clip of how I sounded when I talked right after the release. ☺️

[@litieguai6306]

Yeah you looked bound up like me before and then after you looked very relaxed and functional.

[@amandadangerfieldpiano]

Mine is being released in about 11 hours. Nervous even though I'm used to pain (headache, not tongue).

[@alinaqisalehi1265]

Would you mind telling me the address of the State's name and the doctor's name or the hospital you went to. It would be a great appreciation.

[@Michelle-x5l]

Hi Mandy! Did the numbing shot hurt?

[@dr.radice]

Hi there! How long did it take for the lingering numbness in the tip/bottom of your tongue to subside following surgery?

[@ayanbhuyan9922]

Did releasing your tongue tie release your larynx and bring it down?

[@kimberlyrolon4328]

Who did you release? I live in NC.

[@mrscomeback4184]

I just got mine done today and I can’t stop crying from the pain I’m such a baby

[@JasmineRobotnik]

I just had mine done today. And 4 wisdom teeth removed Sooo much drooling .... Ugh

[@JasmineRobotnik]

@@the_birth_nurse im feeling a bit better. My tounge where they clipped it for " tounge tie" not so much. I still can't talk or barely eat. Ugh. But they said its a 2 week healing process. So i guess ill give it that

[@xochitla.9303]

Hi Jasmine, I just had my 4 wisdom teeth removed and my tongue released yesterday. I’m curious as to your experience because as of right now, I still can’t talk, it hurts too much. Were you able to talk the first few days? I also got mine cut instead of the laser so I wonder if it’s different?

[@bradleywilliams2384]

@@xochitla.9303 I just had my wisdom teeth and tongue tie Friday. My wisdom teeth area and jaw feels great compared to my tongue. How are you doing?

[@xochitla.9303]

Bradley Williams Hi! I’m actually doing better, I thought I wouldn’t progress but now I’m able to talk a little more but after awhile it hurts. My teeth don’t hurt as much as my tongue either. I haven’t been told of any exercises, have you been doing any?

[@bradleywilliams2384]

@@xochitla.9303 I started today after watching these videos. It helps for a second but I guess it gets stiff. I now have a slight lisp as well. I hope it goes away

[@mythologicalbat]

Omg Ik this is an old video but.... Now I'm excited I wanna get mine done 😆 my tongue is actually tighter than yours was! I wanna know how I'm going to talk after lol.(: Thank you for posting

[@outofmyvulcanmind22]

I looooove your videos! I’ve been wanting to get this surgery for years but I’ve had so much anxiety. I live in South Carolina and am really curious as to where you went in NC? I’d be willing to make the drive a state away to go to someone reputable

[@takiawilliamson1]

Me too! I'm in SC also. I'm scheduling my tongue tie release for April. This video has helped me a lot with my fear but I'm still kind of nervous.

[@Ib90]

Who do you guy to get lip and tongue procedure done?... dentist or doctor?

[@hoe6849]

Omg the smell is literally horrible. It’s the worst smell everrr 😩 I just got mine done yesterday and it was strange! First he numbed it which was all normal. Then they brought in this huge machine which beeped and stuff. Then he got these tweezers that plugged into the machine and then i don’t really know what happened I couldn’t see and it smelled sooo bad

[@Dreamsbecomereality29]

Did he check for other ligaments that need to be released besides just under your tongue there's several other ligaments throughout the mouth that can be cut and released if they are too tight. I have several in my mouth that need to be released besides the one under the tongue.

[@nlgcomposer]

Just had mine done today. Really sore. Any recommendations on relief?

[@isabellabaig9763]

I am having my tongue release procedure done in November 7, and I am super nervous. It's been very helpful watching your videos. Do you notice any difference on your speech?

[@faithforbes9102]

good luck i also have mine November 7th

[@faithforbes9102]

Mandy Irby they had to reschedule it so im not sure when its gonna happen now

[@nawaleful]

my 16 months old has posterior tongue tie. he got acid reflux and he is on medication. how did feel when you eat after procedure does it hurt??? my son has a feeding aversion and he refuse to eat or drink I have to torce and distract him so I'm worried if I release his tongue his aversion get worse if his tongue will hurt.

[@SleeplessinOC]

I'm Surprised that you seem to have no speech impediments. My speech is unclear and mumbled and I think it may be partially caused by my tongue tie but not sure.

[@SleeplessinOC]

Mandy Irby hi Mandy, I have been told that I sound like I'm mumbling most of my life and I have to think about how I speak when I repeat myself. I can't afford anything right now but when I can, I will probably see a myofunctiinsl therapist and do exercises and then if that doesn't work , then who knows, maybe they will recommend this surgery. I definitely have a tongue tie and a lip tie too I think . I'm 41.

[@SleeplessinOC]

Sorry, I meant to reply sooner! I did actually have an in person assessment about two months ago in the Los Angeles area but haven’t actually started any therapy because of lack of funds. I have no doubt that your therapist is great though. I’m hoping to open my airways more, improve my speech (and take up singing maybe!) so I don’t sound like I’m mumbling, stop teeth grinding and clenching , and tongue thrusting. They observed I had a tongue tie and a lip tie but they are probably not going to recommend it until they see that the therapy doesn’t work. I actually wish I could get the surgery regardless but time and my financial situation will determine that. What is the greatest improvement you have noticed since getting yours released ?

[@ericaarruda9621]

How much was this procedure? (If it’s not rude to ask or anything)

[@marisolrivas777]

Where in Florida do they do a tongue release?

[@katieharradon5650]

I just got my tongue released a couple hours ago

[@bobfurguson1721]

You must have great pain tolerance. I got my cut and it really hurt. I mean my tie was a lot longer and thicker but still.

[@kathrynmcmorrow7170]

What difference did make as a result?

[@bobfurguson1721]

​@@kathrynmcmorrow7170 well I can stick my tongue out, I mean not as long as most people but I can. I can also stick it back the other way down my throat too, which is a little weird but neat I guess. I still talk and do everything else the same so I don't know if it was worth anything.

[@kathrynmcmorrow7170]

@@bobfurguson1721 Thanks for answering. In hindsight would you have had it done if you had known the results beforehand?

[@christinajackson2662]

Oh wow, I thought how far you could stick your tongue out was normal, lol. I’d figured out myself I was tongue-tied, because my tongue barely sticks peeks past my lips, but today’s the first time a dentist’s office ever said anything! It was my first time there, and I was like “I knew it, hah!” Then they explained that I’m nearly a 4 and what that means and I was shocked. When they went through all the issues related to adult tongue tie, I was just amazed because I’ve never, and I mean NEVER, felt refreshed after sleep. It’s such a foreign concept to me that people actually wake up feeling rested. I’ve suffered from headaches, tight shoulders and neck my whole life, even have degenerating disks and limited range, and a lovely dowager’s hump, yet tongue-tie was never brought up as a possibility. It blows my mind that I might get relief, and I’m so hopeful while also being so afraid of being disappointed and not improving after my release. I’m scheduled in a month and I just want to hurry and get it done, and waiting is going to be forever. Keep your fingers crossed for me, and lord please please please let me finally relax and learn what feeling awake is like!

[@Mattinader]

So it literally helped you nothing but your neck feels longer??

[@Dreamsbecomereality29]

How come the surgeon did not suture after he lasered? I think it would heal faster and better if he used sutures and close that up leaving it open the way he did it just leaves room for bacteria to grow and get infected

[@rizzlig]

The whole reason for cutting it is to open it up. Closing it would undo what was just done.
