Is it true that Tongue-tie impairs speech development in children?
Partly. Evidence on whether tongue-tie impairs speech development is mixed and partial: a systematic review found no clear connection between ankyloglossia and speech disorders, and a small study found no significant speech differences, while several small uncontrolled case series and one cross-sectional study reported speech sound errors or improvement after tongue-tie release.
