- In this lecture from the American laser Study Club Symposium in Del Rey Beach, FL in 2020; Dr. Zaghi provides updates and results from ongoing research at The Breathe Institute in regards to tongue-tie assessment, patient selection, surgical technique, and other treatment options for patients with sleep and breathing disorders.
Dr. Zaghi also offers updates to a functional classification for ankyloglossia, including assessment of posterior tongue-mobility and compensation patterns.
(2) Review results from Dr. Zaghi published and un-published data collection for frenectomy in the treatment of sleep and breathing issues.
(2) Understand that tongue-tie release may be contraindicated among adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea who have inadequate oral volume.
(3) Appreciate options for maxillofacial and dental remodeling and when these are a necessary first steps prior to consideration of tongue-tie release.

such a underrated topic, a lot of people are victim and doesn't know the issue.
Thanks for such a wonderful research.
Mindblowing talk. I hope this field continues to grow as fast as possible.
Wow that was so informative & it all makes sense now!
I’m 50 & have had 2 rounds of braces at age 13 (2 extractions) & 29 (4 wisdoms extractions). I have jsut seen my 3rd orthodontist who also does orthotropics & he’s incredibly thorough & he did full CT, that measured all my tongue, video taped me swallowing water & chewing piece of apple.
He concluded I am tongue tied upper lip tied & narrow palate and little space for my tongue. No wonder I have strain in my jaw! Head forward position shoulder tightness, narrow airway 7.8mm & recessed lower jaw. Mild TMJ clicking on one side, u used to get locked jaw years ago if I ate a burger or something. Basically I’m a mess due to this undiagnosed tongue tie since I was a child. Why didn’t my dentist that I saw every year as a child or the orthodontist he sent me to at age 12 point this out to my parents. & address that issue first. Unbelievable. $15K later & I’m still not fixed. Now it will cost me another $15K for expansion & tongue release it just felt like the my only cared about the money & not the patient.
Sad. Thanks for sharing this video & all your research, this gives me faith back in the ortho industry.
Thank you Dr. Zaghi for crossing lanes and pushing the field forward. Your openness and generosity in sharing is laudable.
Thank you so much for sharing this new research. I am a Lactation Consultant in Germany, but had also a tongue-tie release on my own, as well as my three kids. I really want to educate in my area about this whole topic. That's why I am giving speeches in cooperation with other specialists. At the moment I am building a network and look for experts on myofunctional therapy, bodywork and doctors. But with this new knowledge about tongue space, I start thinking about reaching out for the professionals, that can help with this topic. This is not a theme for babies, but for the siblings or the parents my colleagues and I speak to. So, again: thank you!
I am currently undertaking an orofacial myofunctional therapy
course to expand my dental hygiene practice, thank you so much for recording this lecture series!! Look forward to being part of the professionals that expand this field and improve the lives of many people.
17 min tongue space!!! Just learned about that this week! So much to learn.
this complements Dr Mews work on orthotropics
I have tongue scalloping. But I just discovered my tongue is supposed to be on the roof of my mouth. Mind blowing to me! I am now practicing good tongue posture/ mewing. It’s starting to feel more natural for me. But I am amazed at how much better I can breathe out of my nose. Also I think this will fix my tmj as I now have no desire to grind my teeth! I’ve always felt like my tongue was too big and I didn’t know where to place it! Now I know why! It’s just been in the wrong place this whole time!!
What helped the scalloping?
@@user-zk8ck3my3l scalloping is when this is not enough there is not enough room for your tongue/ i could improve if you get expansion/ ortho but no 100 % you can have an evaluation with a local Oral myofunctional Therepist in you area or some to online only.
Excellent video, learned a lot
Very very important information 🙏🙏👍👍
32:59 isn’t the reason that she can’t get her tongue up is because you’re pinning down the frenulum itself? Wouldn’t it be different if you were to pin down the surrounding floor of the mouth?
Need to get some of this help. I can’t believe I also died in my sleep because of my tongue.
This truly is amazing, so helpful! However, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of research to support these fascial lines/meridians. Seems logical though. Also, is the change in posture directly explained by the tongue release affecting the fascial lines? I think it's not a valid conclusion, there can be a number of things.
Thanks for your comment. There is absolutely a need for more research, which is one of our primary focusses at TBI. The changes in posture are assisted by a functional frenuloplasty, but are certainly not the only contributing factor! All cases, and all successes are multifactorial, and multidisciplinary, which is why we stress the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, and sharing vs. comparing knowledge.
How do you look for tongue space problems?
Where can I go to get this kind of treatment for my undiagnosed tongue-tie? Is there a list of practitioners who provide treatment with this information in mind?
If lip ties also have same effects on the body
Is it worth getting a tongue tie release for adults in late 20s? I have sleep apnea issues and some speech problems, though my tongue tie is not that severe but I can't touch the roof of my mouth properly

Sure, it’s really amazing research! But I hope you administer a proper CT protocol (NAC, Ascorbyl Palmitate, etc.) to protect the patients from the abundance of radiation you’re giving them.
What radiation
CBCT or CT.
a CBCT machine delivers about the same amount of radiation emission as spending a few hours in the sun at the beach. But we of course adhere to strict safety protocols, and offer a myriad of homeopathic and other options to patients if they wish for it!
@@amandakate5233 Even though Dr. Zaghi mentioned a "CT" The dental images captured CBCT "Cone Beam Computed Tomography". This is a very important distinction. The CBCT is a cone beam taking many images from a small source (think of looking through a peephole and seeing an entire face). The CT is taking large slices (think like a loaf of bread) with magnified radiation doses. The newest CBCT can also reduce energy doses by 70% and still capture diagnostic images.
