Untreated tongue and lip ties can lead to a range of developmental challenges that extend far beyond infancy. Speech development may be impacted, potentially causing pronunciation difficulties or delayed language skills. Oral motor function can be compromised, affecting eating, swallowing, and even dental alignment. Some children may experience challenges with proper palate formation, which can lead to orthodontic issues later in life. Additionally, these conditions can cause ongoing discomfort, social challenges, and self-esteem issues as children grow. At Flourish Tongue Tie, we believe in early intervention to prevent these potential long-term complications and support your child’s optimal developmental potential.
