Cleft Lip and Palate Care

Cleft lip and palate are common birth differences where the lip or roof of the mouth doesn’t form completely. Care involves a team of specialists, including surgeons, dentists, speech therapists, and others, working together. Surgery is usually done early to close the split, improving appearance and function. Follow-up therapy helps with speech, hearing, and dental development. Ongoing support and sometimes additional surgeries ensure the child's growth and development. Early intervention and coordinated care are essential to help children lead healthy, confident lives and achieve their full potential.
