Ankyloglossia is an uncommon oral anomaly that can cause difficulty with breast-feeding, speech articulation, and mechanical tasks such as licking the lips and kissing. For many years the subject of ankyloglossia has been controversial, with practitioners of many specialties having widely different views regarding its significance. In many children, ankyloglossia is asymptomatic; the condition may resolve spontaneously, or affected children may learn to compensate adequately for their decreased lingual mobility. Some children, however, benefit from surgical intervention (frenotomy or frenuloplasty) for their tongue-tie. Parents should be educated about the possible long-term effects of tongue-tie while their child is young (< 1 year of age), so that they may make an informed choice regarding possible therapy.
舌系带过短是一种罕见的口腔异常，可导致母乳喂养、言语发音以及诸如舔嘴唇和亲吻等机械动作困难。多年来，舌系带过短一直存在争议，许多专业的从业者对其重要性的看法大相径庭。在许多儿童中，舌系带过短没有症状；这种情况可能会自行缓解，或者受影响的儿童可能会学会充分补偿其舌运动能力的下降。然而，一些儿童因舌系带过短而受益于手术干预（舌系带切开术或舌系带成形术）。应该在孩子年幼（<1岁）时就向家长介绍舌系带过短可能产生的长期影响，以便他们能够就是否可能进行治疗做出明智的选择。
