Frenectomia Labial - o que é? Em quais casos é indicada?

Today we are going to talk about labial frenectomy, who is this procedure indicated for, why should we remove the labial frenum, and at what age is labial frenum removal surgery indicated? Labial frenum removal, popularly known as the mouth frenum, is a common procedure in the dental office and is usually indicated for orthodontic cases. Generally, the healing time for labial frenum removal surgery can take around a week, or less, depending on the patient's care and whether or not they follow the care recommended by the dentist. In some people, the labial frenum is often too large and ends up pushing the incisors to the sides, creating spaces that are known as diastemas. In these cases, surgical removal is indicated so that the diastema can be closed orthodontically.
