There are many patients who are unable to pronounce sounds and it is wrong to cut the tongue tie. This is because the main effect of the tongue tie is to pronounce individual sounds, for example, when pronouncing grandma, a patient with a short tongue tie may not be able to pronounce it clearly. In general, even if the tongue tie is short in a normal mom, the child can still pronounce the two sounds clearly. For tongue tie surgery, it is recommended that tongue tie lengthening be done after the age of one year, as the surgery carries certain risks, and it is recommended that it be done after the age of one year, as early surgery may cause infection in the baby’s wound.
