Abstract

A too short superior labial frenum is quite normal in babies and little children. Usually, the strong frenum disappears at twelve years of age. Before considering surgical intervention beyond this age, one should exclude the presence of a tooth size or arch length discrepancy, a mesiodens or a severe dysgnathia. In this article the consequences of a too short superior labial frenum and its treatment are discussed.
