Cutting top teeth with lip tie?

[jade1991]

Does a lip tie delay top 2 teeth coming? Millies nearly 13 months and still only has her 2 bottom teeth. She has a full upper lip tie.....

Interesting you say this...I am almost positive that my LO has at least a partial lip tie, if not full...he also has a partial tongue tie which WAS noticed at birth but they wouldn't do anything coz he was gaining weight and the midwife wouldn't even refere me to get it sorted, even tho bfing was painful. He's never been able to out turn his top lip whilst feeding and I only found out about more about ties online..next baby I am demanding help if baby has ties.
How do you tell if a lip tie is full?
BUT back to your point.
Elijah is currently trying to cut his top teeth and it seems to be taking forever. He is almost 13months. I can feel one is practically fully down just not out of the gum...but below the gum line...it's mental...it's taken weeks, and the second one is halfway down, I can feel them if I put my fingers on the front of his top gums.
I have always felt that it might have something to do with his lip tie. He also only has two bottom teeth.

From what I've seen a partial lip tie doesnt go all the way round the gum whereas a full lip tie goes from top all the way around the gum. I wonder if it is a common thing for babies with ties to cut teeth later? Although I've seen a few babies here with full ties and 2 front teeth.

My dentist told me that cutting the 2 top teeth will be more painful for her with a tie. Have you found it harder than the other 2 for him? Millies not even showing signs of cutting any more teeth!

I did wonder if it would be more painful for him, he had a week a week or so ago where he was really feeling it but they still aren't out and even more pushing on the gum, but sometimes I can see a purple blood blister line where it is coming and then it's gone...it's almost like it goes back up sometimes....so far not as painful as the bottom two, those he was nutty about...but he was only 8 months.

Both of my girls have lip ties. Megans split in toddlerhood when she fell once. She had her front 8 teeth by 1 year ( don't remember exactly when)

Jordan was very similar for teething. She is 14 months and has had all front 8 teeth for a while. She is almost Cutting molars. That is what she has been working on for the last 2 months.

One of my daycare girls was a very late teether and she had no lip tie.

Micah has a lip tie, but by the sounds of it its partial rather than full. I never knew there were varying degrees although that makes sense. However Micah is only 8 months and is cutting his top teeth, one has cut through already. They do look like there'll be a gap between them though.. which apparently runs in OH's family, makes me think there might have been more lip ties in the family that were never diagnosed.

Definitely didnt affect Emilia. She has a tongue and lip tie and had 8 teeth, including 4 top ones by 6 months. There was a big gap between the 2 front ones initially but its totally closed now x

How do you tell a lip tie, I think Joel might have one. He has a bit of skin going from his top lip to his gum, he also clicks a lot when feeding (breast).

My LO got his top two teeth at 9 months with a full lip tie.

Thomas had lots of teeth by 7 months, his lip tie didn't stop them coming in. Just made a gap for several months.

7 months and 14 months:

Sorry op don't want to hijack your thread just have a quick question- does anyone know if they get the gap with their adult teeth as well?

Iirc, the clicking is them taking in air from an improper latch. Maybe you could try workin on his latch? You could ask a lactation consultant to help you with that (ask your HV to arrange a home visit) and she could check the lip tie for you.

Jade, pretty sure my LO had a tongue and lip tie (nobody looked at it but we had big problems BF and she has a heart shaped tongue) her front teeth came in around 8 months. I think Millie's probably just a later teether. Mia's cousin is 15 months and only just got his two front teeth.

I think this depends on the severity of the lip tie. Most babies I know have a gap between their front teeth. Me and my siblings had big gaps but no gaps as adults
