i did a google search and could not really find info distinguishing 'posterior' tongue tie from 'regular?' tongue tie. can any of you give me some descriptors of posterior tongue tie? I guess what I am thinking is if the frenulum is far posterior it is not really a problem. but then again I can see that an infant w/ a short tongue or a squarish tongue (as I sometimes see) could be impacted by a short frenulum, even if it is not near the tip. thanks for any info or links.
