I wanted to second Michelle's observation that late frenectomy costs
more than early frenotomy.  My 17 yo was tongue tied, and as a result,
he needed:
7 years of speech therapy
a tonsilectomy and frenuloplasty to help his sleep apnea
maxillary expansion and orthodontia ($4300 alone) to expand his palatal
arch, make room for his teeth, and fully  resolve his sleep apnea.

None of his 7 speech therapists ever realized he was tongue tied.  I
finally realized it when I was helping moms with tongue tied newborns
whose tongues looked just like his had, and whose nipples looked like
mine did in the early days of bf him!
