ANKYLOGLOSSIA

n. A condition marked by the unusual shortness of the lingual frenum, which causes the tongue to experience a restricted range of movement – thus creating speech production problems. Also knows as a tongue tic.

ANKYLOGLOSSIA: “A person with ankyloglossia will be unable to touch his or her nose with his or her tongue because the tongue is restricted in movement by a shorter lingual frenum. “
