[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You might not have needed braces if you would have done it as a baby. [/quote]

Yes, I had it done with both my sons (who also had tongue ties corrected), because I didn't want it to mess up their teeth (and also because they were having trouble nursing)[/quote]

NP here. It's not always caught as a baby. My son had trouble nursing. An LC and a pediatric physical therapist examined my son (multiple times) to check for any facial and mouth problems that might be causing the latching issues, and they found nothing. I didn't even notice the attached frenulum until DS was over a year old. At that time, the doctor told me to wait until it was time for braces to have it fixed. It wasn't until later that I learned it would have been best to have it fixed as a baby.

OP, my son is 3yo, and I have been wondering whether this upper lip tie will cause problems between now and braces (other than a gap). Have your kids had speech issues? Any other problems? [/quote]
No speech issues[/quote]
