CRD SUMMARY: This review concluded that tongue-tie division for ankyloglossia was well tolerated, and provided objective and subjective benefits for breastfeeding, but the evidence was limited. There were no significant data to suggest that ankyloglossia was a cause of speech articulation problems. These conclusions were appropriately cautious, but may be overly positive given the severe limitations of the included evidence.
