Laser Frenectomy for Children

tongue-tie release

Gentle laser treatment to free restricted tongue movement, helping your child speak clearly, eat comfortably, and breathe better. Our precise approach means less discomfort and faster healing.

UNDERSTANDING CHILDREN'S TONGUE-TIE TREATMENT

What is a Tongue Tie Release (Laser Frenectomy)?

A tongue-tie release (laser frenectomy) frees restricted tongue movement that can affect your child's speech, eating, and breathing. Using gentle laser technology, we release the tight tissue (frenulum) under the tongue that limits proper motion. This simple procedure helps children speak more clearly, eat comfortably, and breathe better during sleep.

For optimal results, we combine the release with specialized exercises (myofunctional therapy). This helps your child develop proper tongue movement patterns, ensuring long-term success. Many parents notice improvements in:

  • Speech clarity
  • Eating comfort
  • Sleep quality
  • Facial development
  • Oral hygiene

For best results, frenectomies are always done in conjunction with myofunctional therapy. This ensures that the tongue learns proper movement patterns, promoting optimal function and long-term success after the procedure.

DOES YOUR CHILD NEED A TONGUE-TIE RELEASE?

Children with tongue-ties often struggle with issues that parents and doctors might attribute to other causes. Watch for these signs that could indicate your child needs treatment:

  • Speech challenges (especially with sounds like 'k', 'g', 'r', 'l', 't', 'd', 'n')
  • Difficulty eating or very picky eating habits
  • Mouth breathing or snoring during sleep
  • Problems with tooth brushing or dental hygiene
  • Jaw tension or teeth grinding
  • Forward head posture
  • Frequent throat clearing

While tongue-ties can be treated at any age, earlier intervention often provides better outcomes. We evaluate and treat children from toddlers through teens. Early treatment can prevent speech delays, eating difficulties, and developmental issues that may affect your child's confidence and wellbeing.


We use topical anesthetic to ensure your child's comfort during the quick procedure. Most children experience minimal discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if needed. The laser approach means less swelling and faster recovery than traditional methods.


Most children return to normal activities the same day. We provide specific aftercare instructions and exercises to ensure proper healing. The complete healing process takes about two weeks, but improvements in function can often be noticed within days of the procedure.
