a–h) Examples of short frenula in children and teenagers. Consideration was given only to shortness of the frenulum and not difference in presentation of the frenulum. Histological studies have shown that different types of fibres may be present, depending on the individual. Short frenula were found in e) a 40-year-old mother and f) her 14-year-old daughter. The other subjects are aged 3–16 years. All subjects have obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.
