Dr Tiffany explains this with the help of a real life case in this video. Lip ties can quietly affect gums, teeth, speech, and feeding, and this is why early detection matters. She shares the treatment options, and simple self-check tips you can try at home. ## About The Video In this Before & Beyond episode, Dr Tiffany Tan sheds light on lip ties which are small bands of tissue that can pull on the gums or sit between the teeth. She shows how they can cause gum recession, gaps, and tooth sensitivity, often without obvious pain until the problem has advanced. Through real-life cases, Dr Tiffany explains how modern laser treatment can gently release the tight tissue, protect the gums, and even improve the smile. She also shares examples of upper lip ties in teens, their effect on confidence, and why addressing them early can make orthodontic treatment easy and effective. Lip ties are more than just a small piece of extra tissue. They can gradually lead to gum recession, tooth sensitivity, gaps, or even difficulties with speech and feeding in infants. As Dr Tiffany Tan explains, this happens when a tight band of tissue pulls on the gums or lies between the teeth, affecting how teeth and bone develop. In babies, lip and tongue ties can make breastfeeding uncomfortable and less effective. In older children and adults, they can cause orthodontic problems, gum health issues, and speech challenges. Many people don’t realise they have a lip tie until it is spotted during a dental check or self-examination. The good news is that a simple laser procedure under local anaesthetic can release the tie, reduce tension, and allow natural healing. Early detection often means simpler treatment, faster recovery, and better long-term oral health and confidence.
