About
Dr. Gena has been evaluating and treating tongue and buccal ties for over a decade. She has been demonstrating Myofunctional exercises as well as sizing and fabricating appliances and devices to train patients in proper tongue position, lip position, and arch development. She has pioneered many Myofunctional therapies that focus on proper swallowing and breathing for her patients that aid in better feeding, digestion, and sleep.
What makes us different
What makes us different:We focus on pre and post release stretches and myofunctinoal therapy excercises to get the best results. We partner with body work specialists like chiropractors, cranial sacral therapists, speech and language pathologies, oral myologists, occupational therapy and many others to achieve a infant, child or adult to achieve an enhanced immune system, neurological system, and relaxed musculature that can provide them with more healing capacity, vitality, confidence, better sleep, and less pain.
We use a CO2 laser, which is a NON-contact laser heats up water molecules in the tissue to release the tight tissue. This technology mean LESS pain, less bleeding, more precision.
The energy emitted from the laser heats up water molecules in the tissue and vaporizes it. The benefits of this approach are numerous, including less pain, no general anesthesia, and minimal bleeding so a high degree of precision can be achieved. Other techniques that surgeons use can involve scissors, scalpels, or burning tissue which puts patients through unnecessary pain, bleeding, and possible complications. We have a dedicated Feeding area with comfortable chair, mood lighting, music, etc so that mother and infant can feed directly after the release to make the procedure nurturing and to get comfortable effective feeding established.
