Tongue-tie, medically known as ankyloglossia, is a condition present at birth where the thin band of tissue (frenulum) under the tongue is shorter or tighter than normal. This can restrict tongue movement and affect feeding, speech, and oral development. At Ajuda Hospital, we provide expert diagnosis and safe, effective treatment for tongue-tie in infants, children, and adults.
Our experienced specialists offer gentle, minimally invasive procedures to improve tongue mobility and support proper feeding and speech development.
