What Is a Tongue Tie? | How Tongue Ties Affect Adults

[@sarahjohnson9267]

I plan on watching your other videos. I think if I have it, it's like yours. I have white tissue under the middle of my tongue. Possibly posterior tongue tie? It's pretty flexible so probably not the most severe but I grind my teeth and have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. I have had braces and lots of dental problems. The thing is you can get mouth guards but I have been "beating" it, my jaw tries to work it's way around it and I've chewed through one. The other is not the best now because I had dental work done and it doesn't fit. $300 a piece for that fix. I'd rather solve the issue, I used to always get migraines from jaw pain.

Just wonderful, I've been looking for "easy onset exercises for stuttering" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Deyarper Especial Dominance - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a great one off guide for discovering how to get rid of your stuttering once and for all without the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my colleague got amazing success with it.

I’m tongue tied and I only found out less than a year ago. Nobody knew. My family the nurses who birthed me. 🤣 so for 15 years I was wondering why it was so hard for me to talk properly growing up and now I know why.

You’re local to me! I’m a student midwife and my new baby is having both tongue and lip tie revision Tuesday. We have made it through NICU and two months of nursing but his stomach issues have gotten SO bad. Turns out he’s SEVERELY restricted I just have zero feeling from nursing my other kids for years. I could tell something wasn’t right but the pain he’s in from all the air he’s getting because he has no seal is what triggered me educating myself and pursuing treatment. You’re video was so informative. My eight year old is in speech and also has a tongue tie and now we are considering also getting hers revised. Thanks for such great info!

I'm 14 and have tongue tie. I didn't used to care about it but now I'm doing my GCSEs and doing Spanish, and I can't roll my rs because of it. My school is going to have to write to the exam board and everything. I hate not being able to stick out my tongue. All my friends think it's really cool and weird😂 I want to have it done but I don't know how long it takes to recover and have an active life (I'm an equestrian) and I'm kinda scared for some reason

[@emma-wb3pk]

Im tongue tied and I also was doing Spanish, and I couldn't roll my rs. I always wondered if I couldnt roll my rs because I was tongue tied or if it was something else

[@nategz9875]

I am tongue tied and had the surgery when I was a kid. Spanish was my first language and I never was able to roll my r’s. It’s annoying to speak Spanish cause you get people that try to argue with you and say that you say things wrong.

[@2slofouru]

This is what I was wondering, I can just barely roll my rs and it's a total pain trying to speak español. Ice always wondered why, and maybe it's because of the tie. It would really be awesome if getting this done would improve that.

[@shalynbond9674]

Thanks so much for sharing!! I've had jaw issues, a lot of dental work, and I was diagnosed with sleep apnea at 3 years old and had my tonsils removed but have always had problems with sleep and obstruction of my airway and my dentist thinks my tongue tie is a major issue!! So glad to hear your story because I had never heard of this before!

[@lessandra602]

I’m sick of it. I’m slightly annoyed that it was never noticed as a child…

[@amymamabear5227]

I noticed my son had this within a few hours of his birth. He had big time trouble breast feeding, but could bottle feed. When he was a little older and had to have his tonsils out the dr said he would go ahead and do the Frenulectomy while he was in there, as a secondary thing it was no big deal for Ben when he was 4, it only did his throat and ears get better, but his tired jaw issues stopped and even at that age he had headaches, which all but went away. I do not contribute all of this to his tonsils/adenoids,, so glad the dr did the procedure! .

[@AlexisWallace1984]

I have an appt for a consult to assess my (possible) tongue tie, next week. I went searching for videos and found you. You just described MY symptoms to a freaking T! I am in daily severe pain at this point in my life. I am excited to see the rest of your journey.

[@breakfastfordinner2890]

Thanks for the video, I just want to say that tmj and neck pain are directly linked to the atlas bone in the neck. If this bone is misaligned even by a milliliter it can cause tmj ,neck and shoulder pain and even hip discomfort and leg length discrepencies. I would suggest you visit an upper cervical chiropractor, they cured my TMJ.

[@lauren8627]

Teeth move throughout life Mandy. The bone that hold the teeth in place is alive (as you know) and teeth naturally become more crowded as we get older. All teeth want to move closer to the midline, unless a lot of extractions have been performed which leaves gaps and then the teeth may tip distally/backwards. Wire retaining wires may help you.

[@bongsalamat1969]

I've been into so many tests to find out what's going on with me having trouble breathing sleeping swallowing. My last doctor ruled out some suspected illnesses including eagle syndrome and myasthenia gravis. She said it's clear that my problems originate from my oral and nasal parts. I have a concha bullosa in my right nostril and a tight frenulum. Your video really makes sense. I'm gonna have my nose done first then after a month the tounge. Hope this will solve my one year anguish.

Hey! My name is Kara and I am 17. I also have a “tongue tie”. I was told throughout my life by doctors that I will grow out of it and it will stretch out and fix itself. So I never had it fix surgically. But it bothers me on a daily. It restrains my speed of talking because I have to focus hard on how I am pronouncing words and some days the soreness of the tissue gets pretty bad and like you said by the end of the day my mouth is sore from talking. I don’t really have any of the other symptoms like shoulder or jaw pain but I guess my question is did you have the shoulder and jaw pain at my age? Will I begin to have those symptoms as I age? Because in that case I really need to tell my parents about my research and get help before it worsens.

[@ashleyhumphrey238]

Hello. I love the video. I'm 20 years old. I have a tongue tie. I get migraines four to five times a week and have severe neck and back pain almost daily. How much did the revision help your sister? How much permanent damage was there? How important is a cranial whatever you said, myofunctional therapy, and chiropractor? I will probably be able to pay for the revision by the end of the year but I definitely won't be able to afford the other stuff. My daughter just got hers done and I will be paying for a chrio for her she is 9 months old. We have a lot going on right now. I have parasites, leaky gut, Candida, alopecia areata. My boyfriend has stomach ulcers, leaky gut, parasites and I assume H pylori or some other kind of stomach bacteria. He already has a 1000+ hospital bill from going to the er while I was in labor. It's all overwhelming. The doctors around here are not very helpful when it comes to stomach issues. :(

Im 14 and i knew i had tongue tie since i was 5 and it was difficult to pronounce some letters like R and english teachers did not take to consideration that i have tongue tie so if i have to read something infront of the class or if my english make me read something they dont make me sit down until i read it correctly and its difficult for me than for other kids but because of that i know to pronounce properly because i learned from my english teachers because i would always be picked. And i feel its ironic that a tongue tied can pronounce words better than othersbut i still cant roll my R's.

So my tongue can’t move at all. The tissue is connected from the tip of my tongue to the bottom of my mouth and it’s very short. I can’t lift my tongue or stick it out. There’s a tiny lift but that’s it. I spend a lot of time brushing my tongue because I’m afraid it could cause bad breath. It hasn’t yet. I’m very consistent with oral health. My jaw and tongue gets soo tired when I talk too much. And my voice is very little because I can’t really pronounce things the way I hear them in my head.

[@jasonrogers469]

My girlfriend has a slight tongue tie. Whenever she flexes her tongue up it forms a perfect V or heart shape shape in the center edge of her tongue so it looks like a butterfly spreading it's wings. I know this is probably more due to the fact that she has a "cleft" tongue like most dark haired and especially dark eyed women have as opposed to actually having a tongue tie. It's always very noticeable when she yawns as her tongue muscle always involuntarily flexes up inside her mouth into a cup/bowl shape whenever she yawns and as she rarely covers her mouth with her hand when yawning, many people have noticed and commented on it, usually asking her if she has had a body mod tongue split which she hasn't.

I have that one too. I think that if I get it cut I can sing better and hit higher notes. What was your voice like when you sing after the operation? Thanks.

@@the_birth_nurse I think it has to do with the relationship between the root of your tounge, the hyoid bone and the larynx. Straining to lift the tounge raises the larynx. That's why I want to get mine cut. I get alot of tension in the muscles in my throat. My voice teacher says she thinks I have tounge root tension and I'm not capable of any of the techniques to release it because of my toungetie.

I did that when I was a kid

I’m sick of mine. It causes many problems. I am irritated that it was never pointed out because I didn’t understand it until recently. Does this affect length of time you can speak?
