WEBINAR RECORDING – Buccal Up: Clinical Insights and New Research on Buccal Ties

March 18, 2026

Now is your chance to watch the on-demand webinar “Buccal Up: Clinical Insights and New Research on Buccal Ties” with Loeta Robles, DDS, and Brooke Edgar, RDH.

Buccal ties may restrict the oral range of motion and contribute to reduced maximum opening. This presentation reviews current research on the relationship between buccal ties and maximum opening. It explores how a limited opening can affect an infant’s latch, feeding efficiency, early speech development, facial expressions, and overall oral function. This presentation may challenge traditional perspectives and expand clinical understanding of the functional significance of buccal ties.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the anatomy and function of the buccal frenulum.
  • Explain how buccal ties may restrict the oral range of motion and maximal mouth opening.
  • Discuss the impact of limited opening on latch, feeding, speech, facial expressions, and oral function.
  • Identify clinical signs of restrictive buccal ties through assessment.
  • Apply current research and clinical insights to support comprehensive oral evaluations.
