The tongue and lip are made up of a very complex group of muscles and important for all your oral functions. This is why a tongue or lip tie can lead to problems with breastfeeding, feeding, dental, speech, sleep or even breathing. These issues can even persist into adulthood, causing sleep issues, headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain and speech problems, among others.
