A specialist in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy is well suited to detect a tongue-tie since they are educated about the lingual frenulum and also the normal way a newborn sucks. In the case of infants, a pediatrician and a lactation consultant may also be involved. In the case of adults, an Orofacial Myofuntional Therapist, dentist, or dental hygienist can all identify tongue-ties.
