Laser Lingual Tongue Tie Release

What is a Laser Lingual Tongue Tie Release?

A laser lingual tongue tie release is a specialized dental procedure designed to treat ankyloglossia, commonly known as tongue tie. This condition occurs when the tissue connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth, is too tight or short, restricting tongue movement. Using advanced laser technology, specifically the Lightwalker system, this procedure provides a safe and effective solution to improve oral function.

Causes of Tongue Tie

Tongue tie can arise from various factors, including:
  • Genetic Factors: A family history of tongue tie may increase the likelihood of occurrence.
  • Congenital Anomalies: Some individuals are born with a shortened or thickened frenulum.
  • Developmental Issues: Variations in the development of oral tissues can lead to restrictions.

Using the Fotona Lightwalker laser system, with a premium dual wavelength laser, the tongue tie release procedure is performed as follows:

The Technique

The procedure for a laser lingual tongue tie release involves the following steps:
  • Initial Consultation: A comprehensive evaluation is performed to assess the severity of the tongue tie and discuss treatment options.
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure a comfortable experience for the patient.
  • Laser Application: The Lightwalker laser is used to carefully release the tongue tie. This technique allows for precise cuts with minimal bleeding and reduced trauma to surrounding tissues.
  • Post-Procedure Guidance: Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and maximize the benefits of the procedure.
