What is Labial Frenectomy (Lip-Tie Release)?

Labial frenectomy, also known as lip-tie release, is a dental procedure that involves the removal or modification of the labial frenulum, a small fold of tissue that connects the upper or lower lip to the gum tissue. A tight or thick labial frenulum can restrict the movement of the lip, leading to issues such as difficulty breastfeeding, speech impediments, oral hygiene challenges, and even orthodontic problems. Labial frenectomy is performed to release the tension caused by the lip tie and improve lip mobility, allowing for proper oral function and development.
