- Laser Removal of Tongue Tie
Laser removal of tongue tie, also known as a frenectomy, is a surgical procedure where a laser is used to cut the frenulum - a small band of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth also known as tongue tie or ankyloglossia. A tongue tie occurs when the frenulum is too tight or short, which can limit the movement of the tongue and affect speech and swallowing.
The laser is preferred over traditional surgical methods because it is less invasive, causes less bleeding, and reduces the risk of infection. Additionally, the laser also promotes faster healing and recovery time. Laser removal of tongue tie is a relatively simple and safe procedure that can be performed on infants, children, and adults.
You should decide to go for laser removal of tongue tie if you are facing functional difficulties and it is hampering further orthodontic treatments. This procedure performed will depend on various factors such as the severity of the tongue-tie, the age of the patient, and the impact it is having on their quality of life. Infants with tongue-tie may have difficulty breastfeeding, while older children and adults may experience speech difficulties, difficulty eating, and social anxiety.
Babies born with tongue tie may have difficulty breastfeeding because the tight or short frenulum can restrict the movement of the tongue, making it harder for the baby to suck.
Ankyloglossia in children and adults can limit the movement of the tongue, making it difficult to form certain sounds and words. This can lead to speech delays, articulation problems, and communication issues that can impact social and academic development. Laser removal of the frenulum can improve tongue mobility and speech clarity.
Tight or short frenulum can interfere with the normal swallowing mechanism, causing discomfort and difficulty in swallowing food or drink. Laser removal of the frenulum can relieve this symptom and make eating and swallowing easier.
Children or adults with tongue-tie because are often unable to communicate effectively, leading to lack of confidence or social awkwardness.
Laser removal of tongue-tie takes less than 10 minutes and is a minimally invasive procedure. Before the procedure, the patient may be given a local anesthetic to numb the area and reduce discomfort during the procedure.
