Thanks to the frenulum, which is a fold of mucous membrane, the tongue and lips are connected to the jaw. In some cases the frenulum can have defects, which leads to unpleasant consequences such as malocclusion, speech defects, a burr, gaps between teeth, pathological disorders of chewing function, various gum diseases and much more.
If patients want to straighten their teeth with plates or braces, they will not be able to, because an abnormal frenulum interferes with full orthodontic treatment. And even modern equipment and qualified specialists will not be able to help you unless the frenulum defect is dealt with first.
Particular attention during a frenulum examination should be paid to children aged 5 to 10. This is exactly the age when frenulum abnormalities can be diagnosed early and measures taken to address the problem. So a problem such as frenulum deformation can be detected in children of preschool and early school age.
