Lip & Tongue-Tie Technology—Cleveland, OH

The Best Instruments for the Best Results

At the Cleveland Tongue-Tie Center, we incorporate advanced technology to enhance and refine how we care for our patients. Not only do we use a soft tissue laser to be more conservative and minimally invasive when performing procedures, but we also utilize intraoral cameras to diagnose issues with extreme accuracy and do precise treatment planning.

Soft Tissue Laser

Our LightScalpel soft tissue laser is designed to treat lip and tongue ties that prohibit patients from being able to freely move their upper lip and/or tongue. Compared to traditional treatments (which involve cutting the restrictive tissue with surgical scissors), the soft tissue laser is much gentler, reduces recovery time, and prevents excessive bleeding and swelling. Most patients (even infants) don’t need anesthetic to remain comfortable seeing as how they barely feel anything throughout the treatment.

Intraoral Cameras

Using intraoral cameras, our team can readily identify problem areas while also giving patients the ability to see, in real-time, the same things we are seeing during an exam. By projecting the scans onto a nearby computer screen, we can better educate our patients on any issues and how we plan to address them.
