The current condition of the tissues in the mouth and their relationship with each other is of significant importance for the maintenance of various functions. In cases where tissues prevent optimal mouth movements, it may be difficult to perform. Various speech disorders may occur, making it difficult for the person to communicate. In these cases, it may be necessary to regulate the tissues that are primarily responsible for the problem. Frenectomy procedures are one of the oral and dental treatments applied in this context.

What is Frenectomy?
Frenectomy is the process of organising the soft tissues by cutting the frenulum areas in the mouth. Frenulums are the soft tissue areas between the gum tissue and the neighbouring cheek, lip, or tongue tissue, and they form the connection between these tissues. For this reason, frenectomy is also known as tongue tie or lip tie surgery. TThe number of frenula in the mouth can vary depending on the individual.
It is most commonly observed under the tongue, between the teeth and lip tissue in the middle of the upper incisors, and in the areas between the teeth and cheek tissue at the level of the back teeth. It is also possible to have more than one in various areas.
Frenulum, which can be in different numbers, thicknesses, and lengths depending on the person, can cause various dental and gum problems, such as sucking and speech disorders and openings between teeth. Frenectomy (tongue tie, lip tie) surgery is performed at Avedent Dental Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey in order to prevent these problems.

How are Frenectomy - Tongue Tie Surgery - Lip Tie done?
Frenectomy, or tongue tie surgery, and lip tie treatment can be performed by cutting and organising the area with traditional methods or with laser-assisted applications. Laser treatments enable the performance of numerous frenectomy procedures.
However, in the presence of a very large or deep frenulum, surgical applications performed with traditional methods may be required. All frenulum treatments can be completed painlessly and comfortably with local anaesthesia.
Following the application of local anaesthesia, the amount of tissue needed to loosen the connection is cut or removed from the area with the help of a laser. If treatment is achieved by cutting the tissue, the area is closed with sutures, and the new position of the frenulum is determined.
In cases where frenectomy is performed with lasers, the treatment is completed without the need for stitches since the laser creates healing tissue in the application area.
Frenectomy treatments can be performed in a short time in a single session. Especially laser applications can be completed in a much shorter time thanks to the fact that they are bleeding-free and eliminate the need for stitches.
How Do Problems in Frenulum Connections Affect Oral and Dental Health?
The size and positioning characteristics of the frenulum may result in restricted function or cause it to act in such a way that it jeopardises oral and dental health. If the attachments of the frenulum are too close to the gum line in any part of the mouth, tissue tension during function may affect the gingiva.
Pulling the gingiva downward from the attachment points may cause it to deform, creating a favourable environment for the development of various gum diseases in the area. If the frenulum, which provides the connection of the tongue to the tissues, is larger and thicker than normal, speech problems may occur in people.
How Do Frenulum Connection Problems Affect Aesthetic Appearance?
When the frenulum located in the centre line of the teeth is located at the junction of the teeth, it may cause the development of aesthetic problems. In these cases, space areas called diastemas may develop between the teeth and cause aesthetic concerns in the person. Frenectomy is also a preferred application in smile design procedures.
Frenectomy - Tongue Tie Surgery - How Does the Process Progress After Lip Tie Treatment?
Minimal pain may be observed in the area depending on the healing process in the following days after frenectomy, tongue tie surgery, and lip tie treatment. Recovery can be achieved in a short time with the care of the area in accordance with the dentist’s recommendations and regular use of prescribed medications. If stitches are sutured after the treatment process, the stitches are removed after an average of one week. Once the healing process is complete, the area becomes scar-free.
How to Treat Problems Caused by Frenulum
In cases where the frenulum may cause gum diseases, the part located near the gingival margin should be removed. An appropriate treatment plan should be created for the deformations caused by the gingival tissue.
When the tongue’s functions are limited, the frenulum should loosen the tight connection between the tissues so that speech functions can be provided in the best way possible.
The position of the frenulum causing gaps between the teeth can be adjusted. By applying orthodontic treatment in the process that follows the arrangement, we can close the gap between the teeth.
