Winnie, in your above statement is this based on observation and comments
shared or is there research that backs this?
I am looking for documentation of short frenulum being measured with regard
to the tongue's ability to extend over the gum line and lift.
I wonder when statements are made that the frenulum will stretch is this
really what happens or does this baby/child compensates so as not to draw
attention to the short frenulum?
Still looking for some concrete answers but not sure if there are any out
there.
Thanks,
