Abstract
Ankyloglossia is a development abnormality in which a child cannot move his/her tongue ahead of mandibular incisors. It can lead to skeletal as well as dentoalveolar changes such as prognathic mandible, posterior open bite, retrognathic maxilla, and midline diastema in lower incisors. Laser frenectomy was performed in this case to relieve the tongue tie. Healing was uneventful.
