Cleft Lip & Palate Treatment

Cleft lip and palate treatment is a multidisciplinary approach that addresses the congenital condition of a cleft in the lip or palate. This condition can lead to challenges in feeding, speaking, and tooth alignment, often requiring surgical and dental interventions.

Treatment Steps

  • Surgical Repair: Surgery is performed to close the cleft, usually within the first year of life.
  • Orthodontic Treatment: Aligns teeth and jaw position as the child grows.
  • Speech Therapy: Addresses any speech difficulties that arise due to the cleft.
  • Restorative Dentistry: Provides solutions for missing or malformed teeth, ensuring functional and aesthetic improvements.
  • Cleft lip and palate treatments are planned based on the patient’s age, needs, and stage of development.
