A frenectomy is a simple soft tissue procedure that removes or releases a tight frenum. This can help improve tongue movement, reduce gum pulling, and support treatment for spacing concerns caused by a thick or tight attachment.
When a frenum is too tight, thick, or short, it may affect gum health, spacing, tongue movement, and in some cases speech.
The tight tissue attachment is carefully released or removed.
Releasing the frenum can support improved tongue or lip movement.
It may help reduce gum pulling or support closure of spaces between teeth.
