Tongue/Lip Ties
Tethered Oral Tissues
For parents of babies and toddlers, birth to 12+ months
Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTs) more commonly referred to as tongue, lip, and cheek ties. TOTs are bands of connective tissue in the mouth that may be too short, thick, or tight causing restricted range of motion, strength, and tension in the mouth and body.
Most common signs and symptoms of TOTs:
Baby
- Shallow latch
- Slipping on/off the breast/bottle
- Chomping at the breast/bottle
- Clicking sounds during feedings
- Milk leaking from lip corners
- Reflux, Gas, Colic
- Mouth breathing
- Low tongue posture
- Falling asleep for most or all feedings
- Feeds seem endless
- Noisy breathing / Snoring
During an oral motor, feeding evaluation, we will review your comprehensive medical/feeding history, complete a feeding observation at the breast, bottle, and/or solids as well as a thorough oral motor assessment. This will help us determine if oral function is being impacted and assist with the diagnosis of TOTs.
Initiating Oral Motor Feeding Therapy is the recommended first step to addressing TOTs. This will help a baby gain increased mobility and control of their oral muscle movement patterns, and reduce tension in the mouth and body. It also allows parents to build confidence with practicing wound care stretches prior to a release. Treatment is recommended post release to continue neuro-muscular re-education to achieve optimal oral function for oral rest posture, breathing, feeding, sleep, and speech. This is recommended alongside an integrated team approach for best outcomes.
