That grinding tension in your jaw. The stiff neck that physical therapy never fully fixes. Waking up tired no matter how many hours you sleep. For Lakewood adults, these complaints often share a hidden root cause: restricted tongue movement. Our laser frenectomy addresses that underlying restriction in minutes—delivering relief that years of adjustments, massage, and dental appliances couldn't touch.

ADULT TONGUE-TIE: THE DIAGNOSIS YOU'VE BEEN MISSING
How Laser Frenectomy Works
A laser frenectomy severs the restrictive band of tissue tethering your tongue to your mouth's floor. When that tissue stays too short or dense, your tongue movement stays limited—forcing your jaw, neck, and breathing to work harder. For years. Sometimes your whole adult life. Our advanced CO2 laser technology cuts through the restriction with accuracy, controlled bleeding, and accelerated healing compared to blade-based approaches. The procedure represents just the starting point, though. We follow every release with myofunctional therapy—specific exercises retraining your tongue to move correctly, possibly for the first time since childhood. That pairing drives long-term success.

Lakewood’s Specialized Center for Adult Lingual Release
After decades of clenching jaws, carrying neck tension, and sleeping poorly despite everything you’ve tried, adult laser frenectomy offers the answer Colorado residents have been missing. Our Jefferson County clinic focuses on tongue-tie correction for grown patients—a demographic historically overlooked by practitioners who assume this diagnosis belongs exclusively to babies. Reality shows us that numerous Lakewood adults carry undetected tongue restriction, moving between bodywork specialists, sleep doctors, and oral health providers while nobody checks the tissue under their tongue. Our detailed evaluation catches restrictions that Colorado practitioners regularly overlook, linking symptoms you’ve accepted as normal—waking with head pain, fatigued jaw muscles, that locked spot between your shoulders—back to their mechanical source.
Our Lakewood laser frenectomy system goes beyond simple tissue cutting. Every adult patient gets in-depth functional testing reviewing tongue range, rest position, swallow mechanics, and respiratory patterns before we suggest intervention. The release itself runs under ten minutes using our precision CO2 laser, which cuts and seals tissue simultaneously for minimized bleeding and decreased recovery discomfort. Unlike blade or scissors methods still used at certain Jefferson County offices, laser treatment enables exact depth management—we eliminate only what limits function without harming adjacent tissue. Pre-procedure myofunctional work starts right away, building exercises that block scar tissue regrowth while establishing correct tongue placement many adults have never known. Post-release therapy extends several weeks, reprogramming muscle patterns formed across decades of adaptation.
What separates Lakewood’s leading adult tongue-tie practice is recognizing that tissue release solves only half the equation. Front Range professionals travel from Edgewater, Westminster, Littleton, and across Jefferson County after connecting their persistent symptoms to one underlying pattern. Our system collaborates with your current care team when helpful—bodywork practitioners treating cervical dysfunction, dentists handling TMJ disorders, sleep physicians managing apnea—making sure tongue release fits your broader health strategy. The cost of proper intervention beats ongoing expenses for massage sessions, replacement guards, pain medications, and sleep supplements that mask problems without fixing their origin. Lakewood patients finish treatment with unrestricted tongue movement, frequently for the first time as adults, surprised by the instant shift in jaw comfort and breathing capacity.
