Dentist told that dont have mich hope you can expect only 10% improvement after release. I am really worried. Should I continue therepy and leave the release for now.

Good morning,
Tongue tie will lead to multiple problem
1- difficulty in feed
3- issue with swallowing.
3- improper speech development.
If you baby learns to live with tongue tie, she/he will get used to all this difficulties . Do not delay the release , so that your baby can learn what is normal now itself.
I haven’t seen the picture of you babies tongue, but show it to either peadodontist or oral surgeon. In case you are afraid of cutting the tissue, ask them to use laser. Laser will cause almost no bleeding and early healing.
People learn to live with their handicap, but that’s not normal.
Next Steps
Get it treated. Remove the tongue tie, without delay
