Your Brisbane Tongue-Tie Release Specialist
Dr. Kyle is an experienced surgeon performing Tongue-Tie Release (Ankyloglossia). It is a condition present at birth whereby a short, thick or tight band of tissue (Lingual Frenulum) tethers the bottom of the tongue's tip to the floor of the mouth.
In the majority of cases, tongue mobility improves with time. If it doesn't, then a Tongue-Tie Release is a possible treatment option with Dr. Kyle Kowalewski.
