Is tongue tie and lip tie release a hype or trend

The release of a tongue or lip tie has been performed for years by various medical specialists or dentists. Often it concerns older children or adults with a functional limitation that requires surgical intervention. When drinking for babies or young children was difficult, formula was often used in the past. Nowadays people diagnose and treat rather at an early stage when there are (functional) problems. So it’s not so much a hype or trend, but has to do with early diagnostics. When functional problems are present, it is better to be treated at a young age than at an older age.
