Of course you know this procedure is to bring the two front teeth together. The research I've done was clear and although no age of the child was given this procedure is done in a dentist's office with freezing and is not painful. This decision is strictly up to you and your husband. If your child has their permanent front teeth in then yes, it would be best to have it done. However, please get a second opinion before having this procedure done.

Superior labial frenulum?
The superior labial frenulum is the connective tissue that attaches the upper lip to the gum above the front teeth. It helps to stabilize the upper lip and allows for normal movement of the lip during activities such as talking and eating. If it is too tight or thick, it can sometimes cause issues with speech or oral health and may require a frenectomy procedure for correction.

Baby's upper lip connected to gums?
That connector is called a labial frenulum. In some children, the frenulum is elongated and attached all the way down their gums between their two front teeth. This can cause some problems, such as an inability to breastfeed, speech delays, or gapping of the front teeth. This can be corrected, if necessary, by a doctor cutting it in a procedure called a frenectomy.
Does an upper labial frenectomy change the shape of the upper lip even later in life as lips thin and droop?
While I'm not a dentist I do have a healthy knowledge of minor surgical procedures, that said it is wise to speak with an oral surgeon. It is possible that it will affect the appearance of your lips even as soon as a year after it was performed, it is not likely and an oral surgeon should be able to do only a partial frenectomy. If you are considering this as a home job, please don't as it will be very painful and could easily lead to severe infections.

What is a labial frenulum?

What is a maxillary frenectomy?
A maxillary frenectomy is where the tissue that connects your upper lip to your gums is removed. The Only time you get it removed is when there is too much tissue. Too much tissue means your lip has only so much movement. If you are getting one, don't be scared. It's a really simple procedure. I hope this helped. Good luck
What is the causes of diastema?
Diastema is a space between two permanent teeth, typically the upper central incisors (front teeth). Baby teeth have gaps called primate spaces. These are normal and necessary to allow enough room for the permanent teeth to come in. The most common cause of diastema in adult teeth is malocclusion, or poor fit between the teeth of the upper and lower jaws. This usually can be corrected with orthodontics. Another common cause of diastema is a short labial frenum. The labial frenum is found at the mid line inside the upper lip, and it is a flap of mucosa and connective tissue that holds the upper lip close to the teeth. If this tissue is short and too tight, it can result in the diastema. This problem can usually be corrected with a minor surgical procedure called a labial frenectomy. This is sometimes done in conjunction with orthodontics to move the teeth together.
