Dr. Morgan’s kids struggled with airway problems that led to ADHD symptoms. As they progressed through oral myofunctional therapy, he saw that their improvement was limited because of present tongue ties. The dentists he knew doing tongue-tie release at the time were doing a quick “clip and go” technique that took, at most, five minutes. He then decided to dig deeper into the functional frenuloplasty technique and the unique benefits it could offer, which eventually led to him being personally trained by Dr. Zaghi, the leading tongue-tie surgeon in the country. Today, he has patients coming from out of town and even outside of Texas to have their release expertly performed!
