Frenectomy or Frenuloplasty
Frenectomy or Frenuloplasty commonly referred to as being “tongue-tied” or “ankyloglossia” – which can cause:
• Speech impediments
• Difficulties with chewing, swallowing and other aspects of oral function.
In infants, this condition can impair feeding.
For some older children, teens and adults, it can cause daily discomfort/pain and lead to mouth breathing.
Frenuloplasty is a quick procedure, generally taking less than 45 minutes, and is often performed with just local anesthesia in adults.
