Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Tongue tie or Ankyloglossia occurs due to high frenulum attachment leading to restricted tongue movements..

It is not an untreatable condition and it can be very much be relieved..

You should consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and he can do a Frenulectomy surgery to reduce the length of frenulum attachment and make the tongue free..

So you need not to worry as it is a minor surgical procedure and can very much improve your speech and also pronunciation..

Hope this helps..
Regards.
