r/TongueTies

• It doesn't affect my speech

• I can stick it out past my lower lip

• I can move it side to side

• I can lift my tongue and touch to roof even if it's wide open

New to finding information on this stuff. Is a tongue tie the reason I cannot actually extend my tongue out properly and lick my lip? I know it sounds silly lol but I never understood why I couldn't do this like others or why my jaw has to push it up to even do that. I also cant get my tongue to suction to my palette, can only put the front half of my tongue up and it takes a lot of effort to maintain. And I overcomspensate a lot using my cheeks and lips to swallow. Mouth breathe at night even tho I've been trying to have proper tongue posture as much as I can.. I have an ENT appt next week to address teeth grinding, soreness around cheekbones, and an assessment of my throat for soreness so I think I will mention this. Just don't know how to word my thoughts properly I guess. The other pics are as high as I can lift it with mouth open.
