Frenectomy Treatment in Los Angeles, CA
What is a Frenectomy?
Frenectomy, or tongue tie procedure, involves the surgical alteration of the frenum, a small fold of tissue in the mouth. This procedure can be classified into two main types: the lingual frenectomy, which modifies the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth, and the labial frenectomy, targeting the tissue that links the lips to the gums. These procedures are essential in addressing conditions that restrict oral movement and affect dental health.

Signs Frenectomies Are Needed
A frenectomy is often recommended for individuals experiencing limitations in oral function due to an abnormally short or tight frenum. Common indications include tongue-tie, where the tongue’s movement is restricted, and lip-tie, leading to gaps between teeth or gum recession. Additionally, frenectomies are crucial in orthodontic treatments to ensure better stability and success, particularly when a frenum interferes with the normal alignment of teeth.
