It is commonly performed to address restricted tongue movement, often referred to as tongue-tie (ankyloglossia). Dentists, oral surgeons, and some other clinicians may use it as part of functional, speech, feeding, or orthodontic care. The specific technique and setting vary by clinician and case."}
