About Lip and Tongue-Ties

Tongue-tie can be defined as a structural abnormality of the lingual frenum. When the frenum is normal, it is elastic and does not interfere with the movements of the tongue in sucking, eating, clearing food off the teeth in preparation for swallowing and, of course, in speech. When it is short, thick, tight, or broad,it has an adverse effect on oromuscular function, feeding, and speech.
