Diastema: A gap between the front teeth

A couple years ago at Quinn's first dental visit her dentist asked us if her upper labial frenulum (the tissue that connects her upper lips to her gums) high attachment runs in the family. Neither of us could think of anyone in the family that has had this. Her dentist advised us that this tissue will need to be cut sometime before her adult teeth come in to prevent the same gap from forming again and to possibly lessen the need for braces.

While in Milwaukee, I came upon a letter written in 1957 from my great grandma Mimi. In the letter I learned that my aunt Karen also had this. I'm glad to finally have an answer!
