​"Dr. Soroush Zaghi at the Breathe Institute in LA has pioneered the functional frenuloplasty approach to releasing posterior ties. He actually does the surgery with an Oral Myofunctional Therapist in the room with him, to help assess function and tension during the release, which is super cool. Movement + manual change at the same time = my fave!!I believe that this approach was the most appropriate for my particular needs, and I’ve been very happy with the results."
