I am coming in late on this discussion, and may have missed someone saying
this already, but I am having tremendous success already (only been using
it a couple of weeks) with Rebecca Glover's "follow me mum" technique for
latch.  i think this technique (discussed on lactnet fairly recently i
think) helps a lot with the situation you are describing, as you are
essentially "unrolling" the breast onto the tongue, underside first, so
there is really no way that i can see for baby to "flick" the end of the
nipple or cause nipple trauma with the tongue.  And moms seem to learn the
technique very quickly and easily.

also, i have found cranial sacral therapy to work well for tight tongues,
high palates, and general oral mobility issues, which this seems to fit
into.  best of luck!
