The Frenulum: A Source of Restricted Movement and Cosmetic Imperfections
The frenulum is a thin strip of muscular tissue that attaches the gums to the upper lip between the upper two front teeth. Sometimes, this tissue restricts movement and can cause:
- Gum recession above the two front teeth
- Gaps between the two front teeth
- Inability to properly close the mouth
- Uncomfortable or ill-fitting dentures
