TMJ Tongue Tie
Tongue Tie Solutions in West Los Angeles
TMJ Therapy Sleep Solution in West Los Angeles specializes in providing comprehensive care for conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and sleep health. One such condition is tongue tie, a congenital issue that impacts oral function and can lead to TMJ disorders and sleep difficulties.
Tongue tie, or ankyloglossia, occurs when the tissue connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth (the lingual frenulum) is unusually short, thick, or tight. This restricted tongue movement can make speaking, eating, and other essential functions challenging. Compromised tongue mobility can also affect oral posture, straining the jaw and surrounding muscles. Over time, this strain may contribute to TMJ disorders or interfere with proper breathing patterns, potentially leading to sleep apnea or other sleep-related issues.
Symptoms of tongue tie vary but commonly include difficulty breastfeeding or bottle feeding in infants and challenges with speech development in children. Many individuals experience restricted tongue movement, oral discomfort during eating or speaking, jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, or mouth breathing that disrupts sleep.
