Frenulum Linguae Breve

Ancyloglossia, vulgo lingua adhærens, est morbus in quo breve, crassum, vel strictum vinculum textus (frenulum linguæ) apicem linguæ ad os oris inferius alligat. Si necesse est, ancyloglossia curatione chirurgica, ubi frenulum reseccatur (frenotomia), tractari potest. Si ulteriores reparationes requiruntur vel frenulum linguæ nimis crassum est frenotomiæ, magis late patens processus, frenuloplasty nomen habens, optio esse potest.

Ancyloglossia est morbus nativus qui motum linguæ restringit.

Cum ancyloglossia, breve, crassum, vel strictum vinculum textus (frenulum linguæ) apicem linguæ ad os oris inferius alligat. Secundum quantum textus motum linguæ impedit, lactare difficilius esse potest. Qui ancyloglossia laborat, linguam exserere difficulter potest. Ancyloglossia etiam edendum vel loquendum afficere potest.

Interdum ancyloglossia nullos effectus adversos habet. Quaedam casus simplicem processum chirurgicum ad correctionem requirunt.

Tongue-tie, also known as ankyloglossia, can affect a person's ability to move their tongue freely. It happens when the tissue connecting the tongue to the bottom of the mouth is too short or tight. This can make it difficult to perform certain tongue movements.

Some common signs of tongue-tie include:

• Trouble lifting the tongue: It might be hard to lift the tongue up to touch the roof of the mouth, or even just to the upper teeth. Similar difficulties may be present when trying to move the tongue from side to side.
• Tongue sticking out: A person with tongue-tie might struggle to stick their tongue out past their lower front teeth. Their tongue might appear restricted in its movement.
• Unusual tongue shape: When the tongue is stuck out, it might look noticeably notched or heart-shaped due to the restricted movement.

When should you see a doctor about tongue-tie?

• Problems with breastfeeding: If your baby is having trouble latching onto the breast or feeding properly, tongue-tie could be a contributing factor.
• Speech delays: If a speech-language pathologist suspects that your child's speech development is hampered by tongue-tie, it's essential to seek professional evaluation.
• Difficulties with eating or speaking: If an older child or adult is having trouble eating or speaking due to tongue-tie, it's important to get it checked out. This includes problems reaching the back teeth.
• Personal discomfort: If you yourself experience discomfort or difficulty with tongue movement and function, consulting a doctor is recommended.

It's important to remember that not everyone with tongue-tie experiences problems. However, if you notice any of these signs and symptoms that interfere with daily activities, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment options.

Consilia medicum pete si:

• Infans tuus signa frenuli linguae ostendit quae difficultates causant, ut difficultas lactandi.
• Pathologus sermonis linguae existimat sermonem filii tui a frenulo linguae affici.
• Filius tuus maior de difficultatibus linguae conqueritur quae edendum, loquendum, aut dentes posteriores attingendum impediunt.
• Tu ipse de symptomatibus frenuli linguae sollicitus es.

Typice, frenulum linguale ante partum separatur, linguae motum liberum permittens. Cum ankyloglossia, frenulum linguale ad linguam inferiorem affixum manet. Cur hoc fiat, magna ex parte ignotum est, quamquam quaedam ankyloglossiae casus cum quibusdam factoribus geneticis coniuncti fuerunt.

Etiamsi ankyloglossia quemlibet afficere potest, in pueris frequentior est quam in puellis. Ankyloglossia interdum in familiis invenitur.

A baby's tongue-tie can impact their development in several ways, affecting how they eat, talk, and swallow.

Tongue-tie can cause problems with:

Breastfeeding: A baby needs to use their tongue to hold the breast and create suction to get milk. If a baby's tongue is tied (or restricted), it might not be able to position itself correctly on the nipple. This can make breastfeeding uncomfortable for both the baby and the parent, leading to pain for the parent and not enough milk for the baby. This can result in the baby not getting enough nutrition, which can affect their growth and overall health.

Speech: A baby's tongue plays a crucial role in making sounds. Tongue-tie can make it hard to produce specific sounds like "t," "d," "z," "s," "th," "n," and "l." This can lead to difficulties with speech development.

Oral Hygiene: Even as children get older, tongue-tie can make it harder to clean their teeth. It might be harder to keep food particles from getting stuck between teeth, which can increase the risk of cavities (tooth decay) and gum inflammation (gingivitis).

Other Oral Activities: Tongue-tie can interfere with everyday activities that require tongue movement, such as eating ice cream, licking lips, kissing, or even playing wind instruments.

Ankyloglossia typice diagnoscitur per examen physicum. Pro infantibus, medicus instrumenta scrutatoria adhibere potest ad varias partes aspectus linguae et mobilitatis eius aestimandas.
