"Approximately 3.5 to 5 percent of all people are born with tongue-tie. Additionally, some doctors recommend parents hold off on tongue-tie surgery in infants, stating that the lingual frenulum tends to loosen over time. However, some research has shown that the frenulum cannot be stretched, due to its makeup of collagen cells...A tongue-tie can significantly affect your health and wellbeing in adulthood. The most common side effects can impact everything from your oral and dental health to your ability to sleep."
