Ankyloglossia  or tongue-tie is a congenital oral deformity that affects the free movement of the tongue and requires surgery. Although the problem varies in severity, the frenulum is typically thick and short  in these cases.  A normal tongue is important for speech development. Untreated tongue-tie can cause problems for children and adults because of the tightness that may occur as the mouth develops. However, for infants who have had no difficulty feeding, tongue-tie may not cause any symptoms as they get older. Speech therapy may also be recommended in some cases, following tongue tie surgery in older children and adults.
