Tongue tie, also known as ankyloglossia, is when the tongue is limited in its movements by the position of the lingual frenulum.
One of the characteristics of the lingual frenulum is that it joins from the base of the tongue to the tip, and this creates difficulty in sticking out the tongue, speaking and swallowing.
