The lingual frenulum is found in the mouth under the tongue. Sometimes this is very short and a person has trouble with the tongue movements and with speaking. This problem has been given the name 'tongue tied'. It can be cut and will allow the tongue to move as it should.
Although there is still an ingrained reluctance to recommend surgery. As a result, there are many children who undergo several years of speech therapy with little or no improvement until the tongue tie is detected (often, by chance) and remedied.
