[quote=Anonymous]20:33 here again -- just talked to our ped. dentist today about this. She said the reason they don't do the frenectomy first any more is b/c they believe it can cause scar tissue and therefore make it harder for braces to push the teeth together. They believe that as teeth come in (whether by new teeth pushing middle teeth together or by braces pushing middle teeth together), the frenulum may atrophy and the surgery might not be needed. IF it is needed, they would do it after braces. (That's the current view according to ped. dentist.)[/quote]
