Episode: EP 53 - Lip Ties With Melissa Tyson
Description: What is lip-tie? To put it simply it is a condition that restricts the upper lip.You are born with it. You either have it or you don't. A lip tie is when the band of tissue under the baby's upper lip is too short or tight and is tethered, limiting the upper lips movement. That band of tissue is called the maxillary labial frenum (you can feel yours if you run your tongue between your upper lip and your front teeth right under your nose and the top of the gum).
