What is another word for tongue-tie?
Pronunciation: [tˈʌŋtˈa͡ɪ] (IPA) 
Tongue-tie is a term used to describe a condition where the tongue is restricted in its movement due to a short or tight frenulum. Some synonyms for this condition include ankyloglossia, frenulum breve, short frenulum, and tongue restriction. Ankyloglossia is a medical term used to describe a condition where the child's tongue is attached tightly to the bottom of the mouth, making it difficult for the child to speak or eat properly. Frenulum breve and short frenulum both describe the same condition where the shortness of the frenulum limits the tongue's range of motion. Tongue restriction is another term for tongue-tie that highlights the restriction that the condition creates in the tongue's ability to move freely.
