Why it may be recommended

The frenum is a small fold of tissue connecting parts of the mouth. When it is unusually restrictive, a dentist, orthodontist, or surgeon may recommend release.

Planning the procedure

The team evaluates the tissue and the reason for treatment, then explains anesthesia, aftercare, and how the procedure coordinates with orthodontic or restorative care.
