MyoMinute with Chelcie: What Most Parents Are Never Told About Tongue Tie Release

A tongue tie revision is often seen as the “end of the story”… If your child had a release and you still feel like something isn’t quite right—this is important to understand. A revision changes the restriction, but it doesn’t automatically restore function. Because after years of compensation, the tongue doesn’t just go back to working the way it should. The patterns are still there. The habits are still there. The system is still adapting. And when that happens, we often continue to see the same concerns show up again… mouth breathing snoring restless sleep crowded dental development and daytime symptoms that don’t fully resolve. This is where many families get stuck—expecting that step one was the full solution. But what we often see in practice is that the release is only part of the process. The retraining is what helps the system actually change. Because the tongue is a muscle. And muscles need function, repetition, and guidance to relearn how they’re supposed to work. When we miss that piece, we miss the foundation. If this is sounding familiar, this is exactly what I help families understand and work through in my free training.
