Tongue tie, or ankyloglossia, is a condition where the band of tissue under the tongue is too tight or thick, restricting tongue movement. This can affect speech, feeding, sleep, behavior, ADHD, facial growth and development, neck pain/shoulder pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, and various whole body issues.
