Best Answer

That connector is called a labial frenulum. In some children, the frenulum is elongated and attached all the way down their gums between their two front teeth. This can cause some problems, such as an inability to breastfeed, speech delays, or gapping of the front teeth. This can be corrected, if necessary, by a doctor cutting it in a procedure called a frenectomy.
