Does your child have a large gap between the central incisors (happy teeth)? Is it challenging to smile all the way? Do you have the impression that the upper lip refuses to rise? It could be related to a minor impediment… Don’t panic. It’s very easy to correct.
The brake is a small muscle covered by a mucous membrane,
which attaches the lips and tongue to the jawbones. Their
number, position and especially their shape can vary.
The brakes that have the most influence on dentition and
the oral environment are the brake that attaches to the tongue (brake
lingual) and the one that connects the middle of the upper lip (brake
labial). An abnormal brake is a congenital (genetic) anomaly
affecting about 5% of the population and is most common
in boys than girls.
Anomaly of the labial brake
This brake attaching the upper lip is often associated with the
presence of an interdental space between the upper incisors
(diastema).
When a frenectomy of the upper lip is considered in the
presence of a significant diastema, it is preferable to wait for the
release of the upper canines and the end of the orthodontic corrections
to ensure better stability of the corrections to avoid a
reopening of the space.
Anomaly of the lingual brake
During normal growth and development of the mouth, the
tongue contributes to the development of the width and shape of the
palate. If the lingual brake is too short, the tongue no longer generates
sufficient pressure to create a normal palate, and it often results in
a narrower and underdeveloped palate.
This procedure allows for sufficient elongation of the brake or its
suppression to restore a better function of the tongue or
the lip.
