Tongue tie correction

Tongue strap dressing is used for the treatment of tongue tassels that are too short. The tongue ligament is too short to show that the tongue cannot extend normally freely, and the tip of the tongue changes from "U" to "W" when stretched forward. Children's tongue ligament is too short. When breastfeeding, the ligament rubs against the sharp lower anterior teeth and can cause hemorrhoid ulcer. When the age is too large, the tongue movement is limited and the front sputum cannot be reached. The tongue is squeaky, so the tongue tying is best done before the language (1 to 2 years old). Treating diseases: children stuttering Indication Tongue strap dressing is suitable for those with too short a tongue. Contraindications In the infancy, the anterior part of the tongue ligament is close to the alveolar crest. As the age increases and the deciduous teeth erupt, the anterior angli is relatively down-shifted to the bottom of the mouth. Therefore, infancy is not eager to do trimming. It is not suitable for surgery because the brain is underdeveloped and the pronunciation is unclear, or those who develop bad habits. Surgical procedure Use the strap hook or suture to lift the tongue and abdomen upwards, tighten the tongue strap, and cut the strap to the root with a blade or a small straight shear. The formed diamond-shaped wound surface is stitched with a No. 1 thread for straight alignment. 4 needles.
