The
muscles of the cheeks and lips are attached to the gums and tissue
of the mouth by a piece of soft tissue called a frenum. Sometimes
a frenum can be attached too high on the gums causing either recession
or spaces between teeth.
A
Frenectomy is a simple procedure where either part or all of the
frenum in question is removed in order to return a healthy balance
to the mouth.
