What is Ankyloglossia (Tongue-Tie)?

Ankyloglossia, commonly called tongue-tie, is a congenital condition in which the lingual frenulum (the band of tissue beneath the tongue) is unusually short, thick, or tight. This limits the tongue's range of motion and can interfere with feeding in infants, as well as speech development and oral hygiene in later childhood.

Common signs and symptoms include:

Treatment depends on severity and symptoms. When functional problems are present, a minor surgical procedure is recommended to release the frenulum and restore normal tongue movement.
