I just turned 26 yo this month and I’ve been deciding to have a tongue-tie surgery soon. Behind the surgery are stories. People don’t know all the problems you’ve had when you have tongue-tie growing up! From bullying having a lisp. People asking you to repeat words you say several times and get annoyed with your pronunciation. A teacher yelled at you in class cuz you couldn’t say the words right. Even your own dad mocks your pronunciation even now that you’re an adult. Your grammar nazi partner gets annoyed at you when you can’t pronounce even just simple words. All of these led to me having very low self-esteem like was it my choice being born with this condition ? Now I’m just thinking about how my life would be like having the surgery soon :) UPDATE: IM DONE WITH THE SURGERY IT WENT WELL! :D READ MY COMMENT BELOW. Praying for everyone who suffer the same thing 🙏🏻 we’ll all get through this guys.
Thank you so much for sharing! We would only suggest that you be sure to work with a provider who us familiar with the latest protocols in functional frenuloplasty with myofunctional therapy. Theres a directory of such providers local, and global on our website www.thebreatheinstitute.com under the team page, affiliates, and ambassadors.

Please reply me...I have the same problems as you.i can't pronounce words correctly cuz I think this is the cause.please reply honestly, how's is going..the results after the surgery...do you feel any difference... please
Wow. My 17 month old daughter had this done. Never knew how complex the tongue is. Amazing. You have to be genius to be able to know exactly what tissues to clip 😂😳. She’ll be able to pronounce her words better in the future now. ❤️ Great job doc 👏🏽
Bold of you to even consider it, however DIY surgery is definitely NOT advised! Glad you now see the light :). We are happy to connect you with a provider in your area if you’d like.
@@kassjeffries6364 Actually, cutting a vein is specifically what causes bleeding. One technique we employ however is the use of hemostats to clamp certain tissues to restrict blood flow temporarily and reduce chances of bleeding. Also, we are not removing anything other than little bits of mucosa and releasing fascia, so mostly, there are not any significant blood vessels in the tissues we actually do cut. Hope that helps.
Ashutosh Namdeo just the little pinch when administering local anesthetic, and some minor (expected) discomfort for a week or so after the procedure while it heals. Then, our patients report and we have studied the many benefits from better sleep to easier breathing snd speaking etc. less neck and back tightness, (depending on the case of course).
This is awesome! Throughout my life - I'm 47 - I've had few anterior procedures done which offered minimal release/relief. Eventually, it would 'reattach'. Now, I realize that I need a posterior procedure because I can barely extend my tongue pass my front teeth! I've just booked a consultation with an ENT group which performs posterior procedures. YAAAAYYYY!!!
Make sure they incorporate oral myofunctional therapy into tour ore and post operative plan. This will help prevent the wound from reattaching. If they have taken The Breathe Course recently then they will for sure be familiar with this! The myofunctional therapy is critical part of our protocol, and do not perform functional frenuloplasties on anyone who Dr. Zaghi doesnt feel is myofunctionally prepared. Like doing physical therapy after knee surgery, one must learn to utilize the new tongue mobility lest it fall back into its old habits, low posture etc. Also important to consider is tongue space...is there room for the tongue to rest naturally at the roof of the mouth? If not, a tongue tie release can potentially worsen the situation. lots to consider, who knew the tongue had so much going on!
I just had this done two days ago. Fainted in the chair after he finished stitching it up. Even though I already had it done I can hardly watch this. I am SO glad I didn't look it up beforehand!!!

I love how you guys have been replying to so many comments. I've been considering getting mine cut while i'm still young as my tongue tie often catches on my lower teeth and hurts. after an evaluation do you think this'd be covered by insurance?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Natasha. It does sound like you may have a tongue-tie. But its definitely something that can be resolved. We actually have a lot of success billing insurance but it depends on your insurance company of course. We have a concierge billing dept that helps all our patients with that stuff :)
we only go as deep as is needed. There are often restrictive fibers underneath the initial mucosal release. We allow the body to adjust and reset in between each stage in the procedure and follow its lead, only working on tissues that are restricting optimal natural function.
They cut deeper because they have to, if you only cut the superficial part, the tongue can still be restricted. That's what happened to me, I got frenectomy, but still feel restricted
@@CraftyFoxeMC true....I got it done twice.... the first time I really felt restricted after the surgery and had to suffer for 10 years but u just got the surgery again n it’s alot better
A couple of questions. That tissue behind the skin of the tongue is that muscle tissue or conective tissue? If it is muscle tissue, what function of the tongue does it weakens as a tradeoff of the surgery? And whose specialist is this job for, a dentist, odonthologist or a plastic surgeon? I'm asking because I'm researching to get mine done, It's about twice as large as his.
Thanks for your question, there’s a few different kinds of tissue behind the skin of the tongue. Like you mentioned there is muscle and connective tissue (called fascia), as well as mucosa. There are also arteries, veins, and nerves of course. We have trained over 20 Affiliate providers in our protocols, feel free to reach out to us at hello@thebreatheinstitute.com and we are more than happy to help you find someone in your area. Dr. Zaghi is an ENT/Sleep Surgeon, but also Dentists are able to perform these procedures. Keep in mind there have been tremendous advances in the standard of care related to the treatment of tethered oral tissues over the past few years, and results may vary. Definitely be sure to find somebody who is up-to-date on the latest research. Tons of free resources are available to you on our website and on www.zaghimd.com . Hope that helps,
@@Sunrise-fr9jb Yeah, they pretty much only vaguely answered the first question, the rest was pretty much promotion. At least they responded, not all op's respond to the comments at all.
I had a tongue tie as a kid, always got shit for it lol. I'm terrified of the dentist and anything involving that, but I had no anxiety during this procedure. The surgeon who did my procedure told me he was taking some quick measurements, then he looked at me and said that we were finished. Fucking blew my mind how fast it was
@@bbr00tal96 amazing. They used a cauterizer instead of scissors which I think really helped. I noticed a difference in my speech right away. They gave me a medicated mouthwash to promote healing and keep infection at bay and I had zero pain. Took maybe a week and a half to fully heal.
Difference between this and using a laser? One better than the other? My dentist down in Encinitas wants to do it but wasn't sure which method was better. Live only 20 minutes from your office.
we completely understand your trepidation, but keep in mind that it's about a 20 minute procedure, that can improve the quality of the rest of your life (if you are indicated as a good candidate for a functional frenuloplasty). Sometimes non-surgical interventions can be enough to resolve a patients issue, but it requires an evaluation to determine.
It really isnt so bad at all :) . And can certainly help with speech issues by freeing up the tongue to do effective speech language and myofunctional therapy to train the tongue to function as it should optimally and naturally!
I think some people that feels like the procedure is scary is only scared because they don't know the struggle of speech impediment. I'd easily do this much to have better quality of life :). By the way, would this procedure be able to improve my ability of pronoucing the "r" sound?
@@soffianismail thanks for your comment! And yes, we work with many wonderful SLP’s and a restrictive lingual frenum can certainly be a contributing factor to speech challenges.
I’m 18...and I thought my tongue was normal but I heard about it and starting looking into it...I need to go to the doctors to make sure I have tung tie...and I feel like I’m going to need to get it cut
I don’t have any speech problems, or any problems at all. I just can’t roll my r’s or stick my tongue completely out, or up. I’ve also been told I will never speak Spanish properly because I can’t roll my words. Should I ask my mom if I can get it done? Also I know I’m late so please try and answer! I forgot to mention but, is this gonna cause speech problems? If so what are the chances?
i have a partial tongue tie. it doesnt give me any problem other than letting my back 3rd rest on the palate. can stretches and exercises help or do i need this surgery?
Manik Mishra hi, you can indeed have a revision. Although myofunctional therapy could potentially benefit you on its own. An up to date evaluation would be the beat course if action. Ideally from a provider well versed in both tongue ties and myofunctional therapy and airway health. We can help you find one if youd like.
@@TheBreatheInstitute As someone who just 5 hours ago had a Frenuloplasty for Frenulum Breve, I can attest to that :) Love how you're so willing to chat and engage, it's a refreshing change to have a real engagement instead of a corporate PR scared to say anything real. I imagine you're changing lives for the better. Good on you all :)
I have had Posterior Tongue Tie release with laser 4 months ago and it helped and I have grown my tongue in length by pulling but it still feels like not fully released and doesn’t suction well. Is it possible get second opinion from you guys?
i have tongue tie :/ how much exactly does it cost and can it fix speech impediments? I'd also like to hear your guys experiences because this looks freaking painful
Yes, it can fix many speech impediments! It is not painful at all, there are barely any nerves in the frenulum linguae, and you receive anesthetics. The speech impediments that cant be fixed by releasing tongue tie, can probably be fixed by braces.
At TBI we utilize a multidisciplinary approach, which (depending on the case of course) may include an ENT, Speech Language Pathologist, Myofunctional therapist, or body worker. The functional frenuloplasty allows the tongue to achieve a more optimal natural range of motion, enabling effective myofunctional therapy to take place which will then hopefully alleviate the issues related to speech and breathing etc.The pain is indeed minimal, a week or so of minor discomfort in most cases, but healing generally happens quite quickly.
@@TheBreatheInstitute is there any special medicine that only doctors apply after the procedure and r the patients given pain killers? I am curious what happens that thin layer that connects the tongue is fully absent, is there in harm in that like what about the people with really long tongues,do they have less of that thin stuff connected?
What you will get is a loose tongue. Even considering that everything goes without complications, you will still increase your chances of choking during sleep or god forbid, seizure.
@@denisdenak That is a common misconception. Actually, when prepared, and toned with myofunctional therapy, the tongue will be able to keep itself in a healthy natural position at the roof of the mouth upon a successful surgical release. This facilitates healthy nasal breathing among other benefits. Our thousands of happy patients can attest to that, as can the peer reviewed clinical research we are publishing as we continue to advance the field further.
I’m getting my tongue tie removal soon but I really wanted to know if their is a way to force the tongue up because I can’t put my tongue up on the roof of my mouth like that
Had this op 5 years ago and had nerve damage afterwards. Yes its better but im now stuck with a burning sensation for the rest of my days. Massive regrets
We would be honored to take a look and see if we can help. It is unfortunate that many providers do indeed exist who will perform the procedure without being up to date on the latest research and protocols. There is a lot of complex anatomy in the tongue and orofacial complex, and just as one can resolve issues with the right procedure for the right patient, one can also cause issues with the wrong procedure in the wrong patient. There is no reason you should have to suffer through a lifetime of pain, reach out to us if you would like to set up a consultation with our team. hello@thebreatheinstitute.com
At the end of the video, there still is a space at the base of the tongue that isn't yet sutured -- what about that space? Might be a stupid question, but do you suture it as well?
Is this an easy to mess up procedure? I’m getting it don’t in January and the doctor said he hasn’t done one in over 3 years and I’m worried it could get messed up.
Obviously they numbed the tongue and what has to be done has to be done...i mean if he is tongue tied and wants to release den thats ok its normal if u dont want then thats u...everyone has their opinion
What fixed appliance is he wearing? I assume its function is to widen his arch? No orthodontist, dentist, or ENT specialist has mentioned this procedure to me before. I experience similar issues, though I have bimaxillary protrusion in addition to the conditions mentioned. I suspect that I may have airway resistance syndrome as well. My sleep study was inconclusive. My dentist mentioned, as well as orthodontists, that my upper and lower arches are too narrow, so I am resistant to the typical 4 extraction route.
@@jesse_deeznuts543 it went good, i didnt even feel a thing while they were doing it other than a pinch for the numbing. I cant really eat or drink bc it hurts when i do, also when i talk it hurts a little but the thing that sucks the most is not being able to eat or drink :/
PinkVoid hahaha yeah but I’m just being honest 😭 but trust the actual posterior it’s self u don’t feel nothing but a tiny pinch. I just woke up and I think it’s day 2 or 3 and it dosnt feel that bad honestly just eating
I looked this up because I have no idea why but my frenulum itches me constantly. I scratch it and it will even start to bleed. There seems to be nothing physically wrong with it and it doesn’t appear to be food allergy since it happens at all different times. My doctor thinks it my OCD and it psychological and it could be. But I’m afraid if I don’t get it fixed, I’m going to end up giving myself an infection 😒 I do not have a tongue tie though.
If anything, with effective myofunctional therapy and a functional frenuloplasty, and possibly some work with a speech language pathologist, you would most likely be able to pronounce your r's much easier.
@@TheBreatheInstitute with a 'Proper' this and a 'Proper' that and work with a speech therapist there should be no problem. How about just work with a speech therapist to start with. This procedure is much better for the doctors bank account $$$$ than the patients well being.
@@TheBreatheInstitute hey I am really insecure about my voice as I have a somewhat if a loose soft palate some months after my tonsils surgery which makes my voice crack and go silent not to mention high pitch and nasally,I used to have a deeper voice. It doesn't effect my breathing but it's still somewhat loose enough to effect my voice as the soft palate effects sounds that r high pitch,any advice on what needs to be done and procedures u know of?
I think Manuel or using like a knife to cite it causes a lot of blood and will result in you needing sutures after while lazer has like zero blood and I think they just stitch it closed or it will heal on its own idk
The Breathe Institute it went well thanks for asking thankfully I wasn’t that tongue tied and I didn’t need any stitches . I don’t think I’ll need therapy though :^D
Noomz QwQ myofunctional therapy is always important, especially after the release, to be sure that the tissues don’t reattach and also to train the muscles to know how to utilize their new rangenof motion. If you had a knee surgery, you would want to do some physical therapy to ensure optimal results. Myofunctional therapy is critical for the same reasons.
Every case is different of course, and in this case, there were restricted fibers down there. Its wonderful having a myofunctional therapist in the op to feel the tongue and evaluate for optimal releases, only going as deep as needed to achieve optimal natural range of motion and function.
Mine had to be down because of my short and thick fascia which prevented me from being able to properly swallow and hold my tongue to the top of my mouth
Worst is post operative period. You can neither speak nor chew nor swallow. Your tongue and floor of the mouth swells up to choke your basic swallowing. You hyper salivate which you can neither swallow it in nor spit out. The floor of the mouth and the submandibular lymph nodes become tender. Even drinking water becomes a task forget swallowing medicines. Didn't have meals on the day of surgery, swallowed curd (yoghurt) in various forms, the second day. Now fighting with my rice and lentil porridge (we call it khichadee) for past one hour, as breakfast. Thank God it's Sunday. This too shall pass.
Everything has a price. This surgeon in this clip did it basically and precisely. If we replace surgery blade and scissors with diode laser drill, the post-operative phase would be more comfortable for the patients. But the cost will be 1.2 to 1.5 higher than classic procedure.
@@hautran5476 First, I had it done by LASER, only. I was okay with in few days but the results were somehow not upto my satisfaction. Underwent, manual and the recovery was nightmarish. Again, due to fibrosis the results were below my expectations. I didn't have any speech problem before but wanted this surgery for some reason. Movement exercises are only theoretically possible, not practically
@@hautran5476 I just had my procedure done today, along with wisdom teeth extraction. They almost tried to reschedule my appointment because the laser was going to be in a different office, but I doubled down and almost told them cancel it because it was completely elective. They backed down and decided to forego the laser. Apparently I was covered 100% due to my insurance, but I dont want to think about how the price may have been jacked up higher for just the equipment used.
Sorry to hear you had a less than optimal experience. Not every surgeon is performing these procedures properly. In fact a fair amount of our patients do come to us following a less than ideal result elsewhere as you have described. We are fortunate to have Dr. Soroush Zaghi at the Breathe Institute, who is truly at the forefront of the field of tongue-tie and airway. Feel free to reach out to our office and we will be happy to see if we can help, or refer you to someone in your area because it does sound like you may need a revision. Best of luck, we hope to have the opportunity to help!
Niabi Robinson thsnks for your comment but our combined 100+ of experience, thousands of very happy patients, dozens of peer reviewed research papers, and vast network of high level collaborative healthcare professionals would beg to differ. Certainly everyone has a frenum, but many frenums are developing shorter than they should due to a multitude of factors, and contribute to many health issues from snoring to sleep apnea to neck pain and speech challenges etc. We always reserve the right to get smarter, is there some new research or work you’ve done that you can reference that suggests otherwise?
@@nx1100 let me tell you yeah everyone has that part but some have really large ones. In infants this can inhibit or stop the ability to breast feed. And it kind of sucks, I have one and I literally can't stick my tongue out past my lips, or touch the roof on my mouth, I feel it straining against my teeth or straining against the tie. I'm just lucky it hasn't caused a speech impediment beyond slightly slurred speech when speaking quickly and the inability to speak as fast as id like at times.
I am grossed out yet mesmerised. I never knew the tongue is so complex.

I love how you guys have been replying to so many comments. I've been considering getting mine cut while i'm still young as my tongue tie often catches on my lower teeth and hurts. after an evaluation do you think this'd be covered by insurance?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Natasha. It does sound like you may have a tongue-tie. But its definitely something that can be resolved. We actually have a lot of success billing insurance but it depends on your insurance company of course. We have a concierge billing dept that helps all our patients with that stuff :)

just had this done with local! I really could not feel any pain except when the surgeon inserted the injection.
Y duele mucho la inyección
Why do they cut deeper when the tongue tie is already gone ???
we only go as deep as is needed. There are often restrictive fibers underneath the initial mucosal release. We allow the body to adjust and reset in between each stage in the procedure and follow its lead, only working on tissues that are restricting optimal natural function.
@@TheBreatheInstitute I see the tongue tie, yet I'm jealous, mine reaches the tip of the tongue
@@MagklJellyBeanPastelLucidDream mine too, it sucks
They cut deeper because they have to, if you only cut the superficial part, the tongue can still be restricted. That's what happened to me, I got frenectomy, but still feel restricted
@@CraftyFoxeMC true....I got it done twice.... the first time I really felt restricted after the surgery and had to suffer for 10 years but u just got the surgery again n it’s alot better
A couple of questions. That tissue behind the skin of the tongue is that muscle tissue or conective tissue? If it is muscle tissue, what function of the tongue does it weakens as a tradeoff of the surgery? And whose specialist is this job for, a dentist, odonthologist or a plastic surgeon? I'm asking because I'm researching to get mine done, It's about twice as large as his.
Thanks for your question, there’s a few different kinds of tissue behind the skin of the tongue. Like you mentioned there is muscle and connective tissue (called fascia), as well as mucosa. There are also arteries, veins, and nerves of course. We have trained over 20 Affiliate providers in our protocols, feel free to reach out to us at hello@thebreatheinstitute.com and we are more than happy to help you find someone in your area.

I like how they don’t actually answer the question..
@@Sunrise-fr9jb Yeah, they pretty much only vaguely answered the first question, the rest was pretty much promotion. At least they responded, not all op's respond to the comments at all.
Me watching: 👁👅👁
Also me feeling the pain even tho im just watching: 👁💧👅💧👁
Wow.. Wonderful.. Thanks for sharing
I wish I could also have this... 🙁
I have been suffering ankyloglossia since I was a child. I'm 21 now...
I had a tongue tie as a kid, always got shit for it lol. I'm terrified of the dentist and anything involving that, but I had no anxiety during this procedure. The surgeon who did my procedure told me he was taking some quick measurements, then he looked at me and said that we were finished. Fucking blew my mind how fast it was
how was recovery?
@@bbr00tal96 amazing. They used a cauterizer instead of scissors which I think really helped. I noticed a difference in my speech right away. They gave me a medicated mouthwash to promote healing and keep infection at bay and I had zero pain. Took maybe a week and a half to fully heal.
@@jakemode thats awesome! Im getting one soon and nervous haha thanks for the reply!
@@bbr00tal96 you got this. hope all goes well :)
@@jakemode thanks!! 5 weeks out. They have me doing some pre-release therapy. Excitedd
Can I get this if I don't have a disease and if I have a normal tounge. Also can this lead to health problems and does it hurt?
it doenst hurt because they put you to sleep or in this case they numbed the area they were cutting
Difference between this and using a laser? One better than the other? My dentist down in Encinitas wants to do it but wasn't sure which method was better. Live only 20 minutes from your office.
Can this surgery cause damage to the lingual nerve and if so how do you treat it
Some of my family said I needed to have mine clipped... NO IM GOOD
we completely understand your trepidation, but keep in mind that it's about a 20 minute procedure, that can improve the quality of the rest of your life (if you are indicated as a good candidate for a functional frenuloplasty). Sometimes non-surgical interventions can be enough to resolve a patients issue, but it requires an evaluation to determine.
Why would you need it clipped?
Me who as a tongue tie Hold up
Oh wow. That isn't so bad. I have hope of speaking better now, knowing about this. Thanks a bunch.
It really isnt so bad at all :) . And can certainly help with speech issues by freeing up the tongue to do effective speech language and myofunctional therapy to train the tongue to function as it should optimally and naturally!
I think some people that feels like the procedure is scary is only scared because they don't know the struggle of speech impediment. I'd easily do this much to have better quality of life :).
By the way, would this procedure be able to improve my ability of pronoucing the "r" sound?
@@soffianismail thanks for your comment! And yes, we work with many wonderful SLP’s and a restrictive lingual frenum can certainly be a contributing factor to speech challenges.
Hey are we must conscious for to have this surgery? I mean when i see this surgery it just feel painful to watch when you have tounge tie like this
Excellent job 👏 👍
OUTCH!
I’m 18...and I thought my tongue was normal but I heard about it and starting looking into it...I need to go to the doctors to make sure I have tung tie...and I feel like I’m going to need to get it cut
If this happened to me i would praise God that he makes sure that he will bring back my normal tongue
I f you had to do this would you curse god for giving you a impaired tongue to begin with?
Nicely done ✅
I don’t have any speech problems, or any problems at all. I just can’t roll my r’s or stick my tongue completely out, or up. I’ve also been told I will never speak Spanish properly because I can’t roll my words. Should I ask my mom if I can get it done? Also I know I’m late so please try and answer! I forgot to mention but, is this gonna cause speech problems? If so what are the chances?
This looks crazy! I want to get it done though
i felt it..
the patient didn't ;)
Tf? Ewwww
Uncomfortable
i have a partial tongue tie. it doesnt give me any problem other than letting my back 3rd rest on the palate.
can stretches and exercises help or do i need this surgery?
You removed it completely.Well done.I had my surgery but not was removed completely.Can I go for another round?
Manik Mishra hi, you can indeed have a revision. Although myofunctional therapy could potentially benefit you on its own. An up to date evaluation would be the beat course if action. Ideally from a provider well versed in both tongue ties and myofunctional therapy and airway health. We can help you find one if youd like.
This looks so painful!! I'm crying
local anesthetic is a heck of a thing ;)
@@TheBreatheInstitute I wanna ask, does everybody have to do this??
@@TheBreatheInstitute As someone who just 5 hours ago had a Frenuloplasty for Frenulum Breve, I can attest to that :)
Love how you're so willing to chat and engage, it's a refreshing change to have a real engagement instead of a corporate PR scared to say anything real.
I imagine you're changing lives for the better. Good on you all :)
I was NOT prepared for how easily they could just tear the sinew 🤚
I have had Posterior Tongue Tie release with laser 4 months ago and it helped and I have grown my tongue in length by pulling but it still feels like not fully released and doesn’t suction well. Is it possible get second opinion from you guys?
I was tempted to get a surgery like this because of speech issues but good thing english made me avoid it 😱😱😱😱😱
i have tongue tie :/ how much exactly does it cost and can it fix speech impediments? I'd also like to hear your guys experiences because this looks freaking painful
It depends on your age..
Yes, it can fix many speech impediments! It is not painful at all, there are barely any nerves in the frenulum linguae, and you receive anesthetics.
The speech impediments that cant be fixed by releasing tongue tie, can probably be fixed by braces.
At TBI we utilize a multidisciplinary approach, which (depending on the case of course) may include an ENT, Speech Language Pathologist, Myofunctional therapist, or body worker. The functional frenuloplasty allows the tongue to achieve a more optimal natural range of motion, enabling effective myofunctional therapy to take place which will then hopefully alleviate the issues related to speech and breathing etc.The pain is indeed minimal, a week or so of minor discomfort in most cases, but healing generally happens quite quickly.
Marbles do you have to have an in injection ??
@@TheBreatheInstitute is there any special medicine that only doctors apply after the procedure and r the patients given pain killers?
I am curious what happens that thin layer that connects the tongue is fully absent, is there in harm in that like what about the people with really long tongues,do they have less of that thin stuff connected?
So can this be done to people who just want a long tongue. Also is there a procedure for a pointed tongue if you dont have one?
What you will get is a loose tongue. Even considering that everything goes without complications, you will still increase your chances of choking during sleep or god forbid, seizure.
@@denisdenak That is a common misconception. Actually, when prepared, and toned with myofunctional therapy, the tongue will be able to keep itself in a healthy natural position at the roof of the mouth upon a successful surgical release. This facilitates healthy nasal breathing among other benefits. Our thousands of happy patients can attest to that, as can the peer reviewed clinical research we are publishing as we continue to advance the field further.
I’m getting my tongue tie removal soon but I really wanted to know if their is a way to force the tongue up because I can’t put my tongue up on the roof of my mouth like that
What kind of local anesthetic would they be using for a procedure like this?
Did you cut some of the muscle?
Sometimes, we do release some restrictive fibers. Of course it Totally depends on the individual case!
I was about to do it myself but now that i see how complex it actually is😬😬
Me two bruhhh🤣🤣🤣
Bruh you’re insane 💀💀
Same 😂 now I decide too speak only in any intense situation otherwise stay calm
Will the procedure hurts?
It's extremely interesting
This guy's tounge tie isn't even as bad as mine
Exactly I won’t even be able to get my tongue that high
@@eviekirk1119 There are many people around that can help you with myofunctional therapy to prep for a release and to recover.
@@oralintegration9309 Absolutely, effective myofunctional therapy is critical for any successful tongue tie release.
Had this op 5 years ago and had nerve damage afterwards. Yes its better but im now stuck with a burning sensation for the rest of my days. Massive regrets
How old were you when you got it done?
We would be honored to take a look and see if we can help. It is unfortunate that many providers do indeed exist who will perform the procedure without being up to date on the latest research and protocols. There is a lot of complex anatomy in the tongue and orofacial complex, and just as one can resolve issues with the right procedure for the right patient, one can also cause issues with the wrong procedure in the wrong patient. There is no reason you should have to suffer through a lifetime of pain, reach out to us if you would like to set up a consultation with our team. hello@thebreatheinstitute.com
do you still have the nerve damage? Is the numbness gone and the discomfort gone? I'm only asking because I have a nerve injury like that too
Was it laser or scissors??
I was like “this video looks cool I’ll watch it” when I watched it I-
may I ask what happened to the spot down the frenulum? there is an open spot without sutures
I feel uneasy about this 😵💫🤢
having my tongue tied, this is really satisfying
At the end of the video, there still is a space at the base of the tongue that isn't yet sutured -- what about that space? Might be a stupid question, but do you suture it as well?
+++ Simple or double sutures on the needle holder?
Is this an easy to mess up procedure? I’m getting it don’t in January and the doctor said he hasn’t done one in over 3 years and I’m worried it could get messed up.
I want this 😭
Same
Why is it 4 is it Iike a fashion thing or like a tung split
W-WHAT!?
@@l..2833 In my case, I could use a longer tongue for… reasons. And I am partially tongue-tied.
Obviously they numbed the tongue and what has to be done has to be done...i mean if he is tongue tied and wants to release den thats ok its normal if u dont want then thats u...everyone has their opinion
How much and where is your office located because I'm here on Japan do you have recommended on japan
Amazing precision doctor! I’m just curious why chose those stitches? They look very painful and tight
OH MY GOD 😱😱😱
why am i feeling the pain!
This is so satisfying
What fixed appliance is he wearing? I assume its function is to widen his arch? No orthodontist, dentist, or ENT specialist has mentioned this procedure to me before. I experience similar issues, though I have bimaxillary protrusion in addition to the conditions mentioned. I suspect that I may have airway resistance syndrome as well. My sleep study was inconclusive. My dentist mentioned, as well as orthodontists, that my upper and lower arches are too narrow, so I am resistant to the typical 4 extraction route.
Or, is the appliance there to prevent tongue thrust?
*me feeling my tongue to see if its still there* i about almost puked watching this but uh- good job? *wheeze*
I have to get this done In 5 hours
How did it go
@@jesse_deeznuts543 it went good, i didnt even feel a thing while they were doing it other than a pinch for the numbing. I cant really eat or drink bc it hurts when i do, also when i talk it hurts a little but the thing that sucks the most is not being able to eat or drink :/
Camsify well ok man that’s good and bad
PinkVoid hahaha yeah but I’m just being honest 😭 but trust the actual posterior it’s self u don’t feel nothing but a tiny pinch. I just woke up and I think it’s day 2 or 3 and it dosnt feel that bad honestly just eating
Camsify ik well hope u go good
which surgery is best laser or general for tongue tie.
because I much fear regarding surgery so that I yet not doing my tongue tie surgery
Will the stitches disappear? And how long it will disappear?
I looked this up because I have no idea why but my frenulum itches me constantly. I scratch it and it will even start to bleed. There seems to be nothing physically wrong with it and it doesn’t appear to be food allergy since it happens at all different times. My doctor thinks it my OCD and it psychological and it could be. But I’m afraid if I don’t get it fixed, I’m going to end up giving myself an infection 😒 I do not have a tongue tie though.
What did it end up being?
the way he described it, i am sure it is from his OCD
how did he not scream if that was me i would've book't it to my friends house
They put anesthesia
I have a question if you’re willing to answer, the dentist said my Tongue was held back by that thing, they suggested to cut it, is it painful?
I think they num it.
I was definitely not ready for this...
ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE A CAVE IN HIS MOUTH OF WHAT.
HOW DEEP MUST YOU GO
Zooba Gaming totally depends on the case! Sometimes its just a tiny incision, other folks need a deeper release!
Can I pronounce "r" properly after the surgery.????? Because I have tongue tie
Yes :)
R u comfort after surgery sir....
If anything, with effective myofunctional therapy and a functional frenuloplasty, and possibly some work with a speech language pathologist, you would most likely be able to pronounce your r's much easier.
@@TheBreatheInstitute with a 'Proper' this and a 'Proper' that and work with a speech therapist there should be no problem.
How about just work with a speech therapist to start with. This procedure is much better for the doctors bank account $$$$ than the patients well being.
@@TheBreatheInstitute hey I am really insecure about my voice as I have a somewhat if a loose soft palate some months after my tonsils surgery which makes my voice crack and go silent not to mention high pitch and nasally,I used to have a deeper voice.
It doesn't effect my breathing but it's still somewhat loose enough to effect my voice as the soft palate effects sounds that r high pitch,any advice on what needs to be done and procedures u know of?
I hava a question. If the frenum does n't give me a problems of language, but it give me a bit nuisance. Is recommended proceed with operation?
What is the difference between the laser and manual surgery? Is one better then another? I heard the tongje tie grows back is that true?
I think Manuel or using like a knife to cite it causes a lot of blood and will result in you needing sutures after while lazer has like zero blood and I think they just stitch it closed or it will heal on its own idk
Oh god I regret watching this video I’m getting this done in like 3 hours omg ;-;
Noomz QwQ how did your procedure go? Is myofunctional therapy a part of your treatment plan?
The Breathe Institute it went well thanks for asking thankfully I wasn’t that tongue tied and I didn’t need any stitches . I don’t think I’ll need therapy though :^D
Noomz QwQ myofunctional therapy is always important, especially after the release, to be sure that the tissues don’t reattach and also to train the muscles to know how to utilize their new rangenof motion. If you had a knee surgery, you would want to do some physical therapy to ensure optimal results. Myofunctional therapy is critical for the same reasons.
Noomz QwQ very glad you are happy with your results! Just offering our 2cents since our protocols are becoming the optimal standard of care.
you here? I need to ask you about the surgery
Why did they have to cut in so deep?
To take out the muscle fibers
Why would they have to take them out?
Every case is different of course, and in this case, there were restricted fibers down there. Its wonderful having a myofunctional therapist in the op to feel the tongue and evaluate for optimal releases, only going as deep as needed to achieve optimal natural range of motion and function.
Mine had to be down because of my short and thick fascia which prevented me from being able to properly swallow and hold my tongue to the top of my mouth
I had this done today.
I have a tounge tie but what should I get Lasik eye surgery or this
Science...
FTW!
Worst is post operative period. You can neither speak nor chew nor swallow. Your tongue and floor of the mouth swells up to choke your basic swallowing. You hyper salivate which you can neither swallow it in nor spit out. The floor of the mouth and the submandibular lymph nodes become tender. Even drinking water becomes a task forget swallowing medicines.
Didn't have meals on the day of surgery, swallowed curd (yoghurt) in various forms, the second day. Now fighting with my rice and lentil porridge (we call it khichadee) for past one hour, as breakfast. Thank God it's Sunday.
This too shall pass.
Everything has a price.
This surgeon in this clip did it basically and precisely.
If we replace surgery blade and scissors with diode laser drill, the post-operative phase would be more comfortable for the patients.
But the cost will be 1.2 to 1.5 higher than classic procedure.
@@hautran5476 First, I had it done by LASER, only. I was okay with in few days but the results were somehow not upto my satisfaction. Underwent, manual and the recovery was nightmarish. Again, due to fibrosis the results were below my expectations. I didn't have any speech problem before but wanted this surgery for some reason.
Movement exercises are only theoretically possible, not practically
@@hautran5476 I just had my procedure done today, along with wisdom teeth extraction. They almost tried to reschedule my appointment because the laser was going to be in a different office, but I doubled down and almost told them cancel it because it was completely elective. They backed down and decided to forego the laser. Apparently I was covered 100% due to my insurance, but I dont want to think about how the price may have been jacked up higher for just the equipment used.
I had also same surgery.But result was not good. After healing some part of threads remain in the tongue which hampers free movement of tongue.
Sorry to hear you had a less than optimal experience. Not every surgeon is performing these procedures properly. In fact a fair amount of our patients do come to us following a less than ideal result elsewhere as you have described. We are fortunate to have Dr. Soroush Zaghi at the Breathe Institute, who is truly at the forefront of the field of tongue-tie and airway. Feel free to reach out to our office and we will be happy to see if we can help, or refer you to someone in your area because it does sound like you may need a revision. Best of luck, we hope to have the opportunity to help!
Getting it done from CO2 lesser isn't a better option? Please let me know. Thanks!
I’m glad I dint know what they do before I did it
Brayden Eaves how did yours result?
Holy, how are you supposed to fix that?!
That’s actual torture. And that’s defidently not satasfying.
So true
Yea I have to do a tongue tie tommorow.
Niabi Robinson thsnks for your comment but our combined 100+ of experience, thousands of very happy patients, dozens of peer reviewed research papers, and vast network of high level collaborative healthcare professionals would beg to differ. Certainly everyone has a frenum, but many frenums are developing shorter than they should due to a multitude of factors, and contribute to many health issues from snoring to sleep apnea to neck pain and speech challenges etc. We always reserve the right to get smarter, is there some new research or work you’ve done that you can reference that suggests otherwise?
Niabi Robinson some people have bigger ones than others
@@nx1100 let me tell you yeah everyone has that part but some have really large ones. In infants this can inhibit or stop the ability to breast feed. And it kind of sucks, I have one and I literally can't stick my tongue out past my lips, or touch the roof on my mouth, I feel it straining against my teeth or straining against the tie. I'm just lucky it hasn't caused a speech impediment beyond slightly slurred speech when speaking quickly and the inability to speak as fast as id like at times.
OMG OW OW OW OW
OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH
I just got mine done a week ago and believe that my dentist did it wrong. Looking for some help or advice to look at it
what were thi se longitudinal muscle tissue on either side of midline that were being cut ?
