The lingual frenum connects your tongue to your mouth. If you touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth, you can probably feel the lingual frenum stretching underneath your tongue. The length of the lingual frenum varies from person to person.
In some cases, people are born with a lingual frenum that’s very short. This shortened frenum restricts the movement of the tongue. This condition is called ankyloglossia, or “tongue tie.” Tongue tie occurs in nearly 5 percentTrusted Source of infants. It’s more common in boys than in girls. Tongue tie can interfere with breastfeeding during the infant years and speech development as a child grows older.
A quick procedure called a lingual frenectomy can give the tongue a greater range of motion.
