Скачать или смотреть Lip-Tie and Gap Between Front Teeth. What Is the Optimal Age for Treatment in Infants and Toddlers?

Lip-tie is a congenital condition in which a string of tissue under the lip, what we call a Frenulum or Frenum, is too tight or too short.
•
For children with lip-tie, as they start to get their front teeth in, the tight frenum can pull and cause a gap to appear between their two front teeth. The tissue may also interfere with effective oral hygiene as it can be painful to brush around the tie without tearing or injuring it, and unfortunately this impaired ability to clean the teeth properly can further lead to a higher risk of developing cavities on the front teeth 😥
•
Then what is the optimal age for releasing a lip-tie in infants and toddlers to maximize the chance of closing a gap between the upper front teeth? According to research, the optimal age is before the eruption of the primary upper canine teeth, which typically occurs between 16-20 months of age on average
