Long Term Consequences of an Untreated Tongue-Tie: The Role of the Fascial System
- Speaker: Zinal Shah , MBBS, DCH, IBCLC
- Presentation Type:
- Duration: 60 Mins
- Credits:
Abstract:
Understanding the fascinating connection between posture and the fascial system is an important part of understanding the long-term impact of untreated tethered oral tissues. Learn more about how the fascial system develops as a child grows and its impact on infant feeding due to airway compromise. Explore how tongue posture influences the development of the jaws and airway, contributing to issues such as dental malocclusions, sleep-disordered breathing, TMJ disorders, clenching, and grinding. We will look at compensations across different age groups into adulthood, including challenges with feeding, air swallowing, habitual behaviors, bowel dysfunction, growth delays, developmental lags, transitions to solid foods, picky eaters, speech dysfunctions, breathing & airway development, sleep disordered breathing , sleep apnea , muscular tightness and behavioral patterns including ADHD. Case studies will be reviewed to help consolidate learning about the practical impacts of tethered oral tissues (TOTS), particularly when tongue ties are undiagnosed or improperly treated.
