Frenectomy (Tongue Tie) Procedure

https://www.nycsleepwell.com/treatmen... Tongue Tie Frenectomy for Sleep Apnea The condition known as being tongue-tied is caused when the frenulum (the band of tissue that connects the bottom of the tongue to the floor of the mouth) is too short and tight. As a result, the movement of the tongue is restricted. The surgery to correct this condition is called a frenectomy. Parents may be familiar with the condition and how it can lead to possible problems breastfeeding newborns along with potential speech problems down the road. But recent studies have also identified tongue-ties as a risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
