Tongue Tie Self-Assessment — Hamilton 2025

• Open your mouth wide. Can you touch the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth? If no, you likely have some degree of tongue tie.
• Stick out your tongue. Does it notch in the middle (heart shape) or deflect to one side? Possible tongue tie.
• Try to move your tongue side to side and back. Is range of motion restricted? Possible tongue tie.

How Tongue Tie Affects Adults — Hamilton Guide

• Speech: difficulty with ‘l’, ‘r’, ‘t’, ‘d’, ‘n’, ‘th’ sounds
• Oral hygiene: can’t sweep tongue behind lower front teeth — increased decay and gum disease risk
• Eating: difficulty managing certain textures, licking ice cream, kissing
• Jaw/neck tension: the tongue pulls on the jaw and neck muscles when restricted
• Dental changes: lower front teeth may be tipped backward from chronic tongue pressure
