I have dealt with severe cervical, occipital and shoulde tension most of my adult life (I’m 34) and have tried EVERYYHING to address it. I also have breathing issues and difficulties projecting my voice. Recently I noticed my tongue looked different from my fiance and learned about tongue tie. It makes sense that it’s never been addressed as a child because I was not breastfed. I have never heard of this but I failed both tests miserably! I’m looking into being formally evaluated and getting myofascial therapy and a frenectomy and am hoping it brings me some relief. What I cannot believe is that with all the specialists/dentists I’ve seen over the years, no one thought to evaluate this!
So glad you found my channel! Unfortunately, this is a story I hear CONSTANTLY :( Just know you are not alone! I hope this brings you knowledge, empowerment, and relief!
I got 3-2 and can barely squeeze in one finger on the last. This has been really enlightening to understand that this is the potential culprit for some of my voice issues amongst other things
I can fit 4 fingers with my mouth open all the way. Then with my tongue behind my teeth it's a little less than 2, then with the suction/click, I have to force my mouth to be able to open less than 1 finger width. It's usually teeth clenched when I do that. I already have my tongue tie release scheduled though
I’m just now at age 24 learning that Ive had a tongue tie which could be what’s caused all my oral health issues. I mouth breath, I have a tongue thrust which has now pushed my upper teeth into a severe over jet, and I have a underdeveloped lower jaw and have been told by an orthodontist that I need jaw surgery.I wish my parents would have cared enough to help me fix these issues when I was little and helped me prevent it from getting so bad. Now I have the financial burden of fixing all these issues myself😢
I know it's a lot to take in! But believe it or not you are still at a great age to start this journey :) I myself started my tongue tie and adult ortho at 25- so I feel ya! Just take it one step at a time- many of these things in fact shouldn't be tackled at the same time so it can give you a nice pace to follow. Finally, just want to say that if you ever are not THRILLED by your health provider- you owe it to yourself and the health world owes it to you to get another option. There are many paths to health- find one that you can enjoy the journey walking down :)
About 2 fingers baseline, barely 1 posterior. Definitely talking to my doctor ASAP as I've had chronic jaw and neck pain for years that I've attributed to stress.
Im tongue tied, and now I think it has a lot to do with how I sound. There's really naslly speech, then there's how I sound. They sound almost the same, but my voice sounds more like Im holding my tongue even tho I can pronounce any word. I don't have any nasal issues of any kind. I didn't pass this test.
Yes, that can happen! Many tongue tied singers do not have speech issues or pronunciation issues, but they do feel tension or pain and also the sound or tone quality can sound forced or tight!
I have been suffering with a bunch of issues, I cannot believe how after seeing so many different doctors this was never brought up not once. Disappointing. Going to look into this immediately
I failed the 3rd exercise. 😭 I have been feeling discomfort in the jaw and neck area lately. I also noticed how I can't seem to tame my tongue when I practice singing. Does that mean, I possibly am tongue tie??? 😭😭😭
I have had a stuttering-like condition my whole life. It sn't exactly stuttering as much as it is mumbling through sentences unintelligible. It isexacerbated when I am nervous, and I also tend to to take a lot of sporadic breaths while talking. I dd this test and it was 3,2,1 for the spaces between the jaws. Could the tongue tie explain these conditions?
Yes, that is common and easily avoided. Surgeons can gently move either side of the vein without cutting it. It may make the process slower, adding maybe 5-10 mins, but shouldn't change the quality of the release.
I want to sing well, and I have been practicing for 5 years. However, I had a tongue-tie, which I had removed 2 years ago because it was causing speech issues. More importantly, my voice has been very dry, raspy, and harsh. Despite improving in singing, my voice hasn't improved. Even 2 years after the tongue-tie removal, my voice is still harsh and dry. I'm begging you, please help me. Singing well is my life's goal, and if this doesn't happen, my life will feel ruined.
Keep up those exercises I gave you for 2-3 weeks and let me know how it goes! Make sure to watch yourself in the mirror as thats the fastest and the easiest way to change that habit!
@@OpusMyo thankyou,i was really feeling depressed But now feeling good. You are a very nice and kind hearted person, all these things I can't share with anyone else. You are a great teacher and person
@@shivamvishwakarma8625 You are very welcome. Remember to practice SLOWLY as that will make you improve FASTER! And as always, USE THE MIRROR!! You got this!
@@OpusMyo I am practicing what you suggested. What I feel is that some of my vowels, specifically 'A' and 'E,' feel tense. Also, when other people speak, their words seem to have a similar tone and sound soft and smooth. But when I speak, some of my words feel strained and harsh, and all words should sound of the same type, but they do not. Why is this happening? Could it be due to tongue tension? But My tongue doesn't go back still i am facing this,,It's been more than two years since my tongue tie release, yet I’m still facing this issue. Pls help me
Yes tongue ties are genetic so he chances are high. Of course, not a guarantee but definitely suspicious. I’d watch and see if he has other symptoms: mouth breathing, nasal congestion, chronic ear infections, poor sleep, food, pickiness
@@theshark2804 AH HA. Well I’d find a local dentist that specializes in tongue ties for kids and start there! You can just Google “tongue tie” and then your city. That will give you a good starting point. I also offer free consults as well

Yessss!!! Hooray! (But maybe make sure you talk to a tongue tie person, because sometimes "regular" doctors have no idea about this lol)
This is EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you!
Wonderful and concise! Thank you!

YES! I've been doing this for 7 years and STILL can't believe how no one is talking about it! Help spread the word- glad we found you!
I failed the 3rd exercise. 😭 I have been feeling discomfort in the jaw and neck area lately. I also noticed how I can't seem to tame my tongue when I practice singing. Does that mean, I possibly am tongue tie??? 😭😭😭
Yes the chances are very high! Id seek a formal diagnosis! (thats probably why you have so much tongue issues- its not the technique!)
Thank you so much for the video T.T
What is test n2?
Oh no oh no oh noooooo my tongue is tied 😦😧😨
I have had a stuttering-like condition my whole life. It sn't exactly stuttering as much as it is mumbling through sentences unintelligible. It isexacerbated when I am nervous, and I also tend to to take a lot of sporadic breaths while talking.
I dd this test and it was 3,2,1 for the spaces between the jaws.
Could the tongue tie explain these conditions?
Yes yes yes!
I go from 3 fingers to two in both exercises . The suction exercise actually hurt haha🥲
Oh no! well we know what that means........
Mine really hurt, too. 2 to 1 finger. lol
Can you get your tongue tie released if there is a big vein in it?
Yes, that is common and easily avoided. Surgeons can gently move either side of the vein without cutting it. It may make the process slower, adding maybe 5-10 mins, but shouldn't change the quality of the release.

Wow, thank you
My son just turn 4 and has very limited speech. So I tried your test and I didn’t pass the 1st test. So maybe my kid has the same problem

@@OpusMyo we are dealing with everything you listed.
