Ankyloglossia is understood as the restriction of tongue movement due to a fibrotic tissue of congenital origin that limits motility and produces a series of functional and anatomical consequences", we explain.

A tongue that does not work properly will cause compensatory mechanisms, such as lateral pharyngeal collapse, pharyngeal obstruction and even tonsil hypertrophy caused by oral breathing, which in the long term leads to sleep apnea.
