I am so pleased with Dr. Kieffer Orthodontics. Dr. Kieffer was able to screen my 15-year-old son for a tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) his first time examining him for orthodontic care. Not only did he notice the physical impairment of my son’s tongue, but he was able to identify key issues that a tongue-tie could exhibit. He noted that my son had frequent unexplained headaches, had exceptionally restless sleep and mouth breathed while asleep. To confirm his diagnosis, he directed us to see an ankyloglossia specialist, Dr. Dabir, as well as a myofunctional therapist, Danielle Klee, M.A, CCC-CLP. Once it was determined that he did have a tongue-tie, my son had a few months of myofunctional therapy, then a mild surgery to release the tongue-tie and was completely healed within a few weeks. Looking back a year later, I find that my son doesn’t get headaches, wakes up in the same position as he falls asleep in and no longer mouth breathes. He is more focused and rested that he has ever been. I appreciate Dr. Kieffer’s efforts in making his patients the best physical and emotional version of themselves all by simply adjusting their facial structure and mouth. Also, I appreciate our ‘tongue-tie’ team, Dr. Kieffer, Dr. Dabir and Danielle Klee and their coupled efforts that led to this positive outcome.
