It is not within Orofacial Myologist’ scope of practice to identify a tongue tie

Tuesday, 15 August 2017 by Administrator
Q:  I attended a conference presented by physicians, dentists and speech pathologists.  They said that it is not within our scope of practice to identify a tongue tie.  What is your take on this? A:  Well, that is interesting!  I can only speak for those SLPs who have orofacial myology training.  Over a period of

Thursday, 15 December 2016 by Administrator
Do you find that individuals with ankyloglossia often have poor jaw stability because they have to move their jaw more to accommodate for the restricted tongue movement they have?

Baby’s tongue sticking out of her mouth.

Sunday, 30 March 2014 by Administrator
Today I saw a Mexican American baby 2 1/2 months old that frequently but not always has her tongue sticking out of her mouth. It reminds me of a Down's baby, but she has no other Down Syndrome characteristics.

SLP with tongue tie and OSA

Friday, 30 November 2012 by Administrator
My interest is more concerning: I have a new diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (hypopneas, actually), in which the MD believes that the base of tongue is falling into the airway (and per a recent laryngoscopy, my airway is small). When I was a child, an orthodontist offered to clip it, but I wasn't having any difficulty with speech, and I hadn't really figured out that my childhood sleep disruption was apnea until all these decades later.

Ankyloglossia and palatal expansion, when to do it

Thursday, 08 December 2011 by Administrator
I was recently referred a case where there is an obvious need for a frenectomy, she is 9 and is getting an expander TOMORROW. I need to decide to recommend she get the surgery now and take my chances with the rehab when I basically can't do much more than mobility work while we wait 4-6 months for the expander to be removed, or wait for the frenum surgery after the expander comes off.
