- It is possible to have both an anterior (frontal) tie AND and posterior one. Although some (anterior) ties are associated with heart-shaped tongues, tongue tips can look rounded or squared if there is posterior tie
- Posterior ties are often misdiagnosed as a short tongue.
- Tongue and lip ties, like the webs of skin between your thumbs and index fingers, do not suddenly shrink, stretch, or disappear.
- Digestion starts in the mouth, and so tongue ties can lead to digestive problems like colic and reflux.
- Tongue tie can affect speech, causing both delays in speech onset, and also in the ability to form certain sounds and words correctly.
- Tongue tie can affect the way teeth come in. For example, the front bottom teeth may be pulled inwards. Babies with tongue ties often have narrow palates, so teeth may be overcrowded.
