Is the speech disorder in children caused by 's tongue tie too short ? Some children are already three or four years old, but they are always unable to speak clearly when speaking, their pronunciation is not standard, or they sound a little big. At this time, parents will attribute these children's speech disorders to the fact that the tongue lace is too short, so when the child shows a little unclear expression, they think about taking the child to the hospital for tongue lace correction surgery. In fact, although some cases of inaccurate pronunciation and unclear pronunciation are indeed related to the short tongue lace, this is not the only reason why children are inaccurate pronunciation. Because the tongue lace is too short, it will generally affect the inaccurate pronunciation of certain characters, but it will not play a major role in the overall pronunciation that is not standard.
According to the work experience of sun language correction experts over the years, there are two main reasons for inaccurate pronunciation:
1. Caused by congenital physiological defects, such as: congenital cleft palate, cleft lip (rabbit lip), malformation of pronunciation organs, teeth missing or too short tongue lace, etc.;
2. Caused by acquired diseases, such as neurological diseases, meningitis, etc. when the child is young, resulting in incoordinated movement of the vocal organs and hearing damage, which will lead to unclear pronunciation and inability to imitate the correct pronunciation.
In addition, before the age of 3, that is, at the age of 2-3, it is a critical period for children to accumulate vocabulary. As the vocabulary gradually increases, they want to use language to express their ideas, so it is normal to have irregular pronunciations at this time, especially some more complex pronunciations. This is because their language is still in the development stage, the central nervous system of the brain language, and some of the pronunciation organs are not mature, or are affected by the language environment during language development (for example, people often speak dialects in the living environment).
If these factors are excluded, there is indeed a child's voice disorder. First of all, it is recommended to take the child to a professional medical institution for language evaluation, determine which aspect of the pronunciation is caused by inaccurate pronunciation, and determine whether it is necessary to cut tongue tie . If there is no other reason, just because the tongue tie is too short, then correct it at the doctor's advice. Although some people currently believe that tongue lace surgery can indeed improve pronunciation, this statement has not been fully confirmed. Moreover, tongue lace correction surgery is only a way to improve physiological structure. If there is still a problem of inaccurate pronunciation after the operation, language correction is still needed to make the pronunciation correct.
