Tongue Tie Release Surgery
Tongue tie, or ankyloglossia, is a condition in which the tissue connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth (lingual frenulum) is shorter than usual, restricting the tongue’s range of motion. Tongue tie release surgery, also known as frenotomy or frenuloplasty, is a procedure aimed at correcting this condition and improving oral function. As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon specializing in oral pathology, I offer comprehensive care for patients with tongue tie, providing expert evaluation and surgical interventions to enhance their oral health and overall well-being.
The Surgical Process
During tongue tie release surgery, the surgeon carefully evaluates the extent of the tongue tie and determines the most appropriate surgical approach. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia in adults and infants or general anesthesia in young children. Using precise surgical techniques, the surgeon makes a small incision in the lingual frenulum to release the tight band of tissue, allowing the tongue to move more freely. In some cases, a laser may be used to perform the procedure, offering a minimally invasive and bloodless alternative to traditional surgical techniques.
Benefits for Patients
Tongue tie release surgery offers several benefits for patients affected by this condition. By releasing the tight band of tissue, the procedure can improve tongue mobility, speech articulation, swallowing function, and breastfeeding in infants. Adults and children with tongue tie may experience relief from symptoms such as difficulty moving the tongue, speech impediments, feeding difficulties, and oral discomfort. Additionally, tongue tie release surgery can prevent potential complications associated with untreated tongue tie, such as dental issues, gum recession, and persistent feeding problems.
