Summary
This study tests a new device called SNIP designed to treat tongue-tie in infants. The device is used to perform a frenectomy, a procedure that releases the tight band under the tongue. The study includes 6 infants with anterior tongue-tie and focuses on how easy the device is for doctors to use and how comfortable it is for the baby.
