Abstract
Ankyloglossia or tongue-tie is the result of a short and tight lingual frenum causing difficulty in speech, feeding problems in infants due to the limitation of tongue movement. This report presents a case of a 22-year-old female with tongue-tie who complained of difficulty in speech following which she underwent frenectomy procedure with erbium, chromium: yattrium-scandium-gallium-garnet laser without any complications. She was referred to the speech therapist after the procedure.
