In this episode, I continue my conversation with Dr. Amy Luedemann about pediatric airway health, tongue ties, and tethered oral tissues. We discuss why airway care must consider the whole child, how feeding and body function should be assessed before a release, and why a multidisciplinary team can improve outcomes. Dr. Luedemann also explains how the ALF appliance supports natural tongue function, cranial motion, facial growth, nasal breathing, and sleep.
