Best Answer

The frenum or frenulum linguae is the band of tissue beneath the tongue. The frenulum labii superioris is the band of tissue behind your upper lip. Neither have anything to do with the gap between your central incisors, which is called diastema or gap-tooth. The gap is probably genetic in most cases.
