Comprehensive Cleft Care Programs

Comprehensive cleft care programs provide coordinated, multidisciplinary treatment for individuals with cleft lip and/or palate. These programs involve a team of specialists—such as surgeons, dentists, speech therapists, and psychologists—working together from infancy through adulthood. Their goal is to address not only the physical aspects of the cleft, like repairing the lip or palate, but also related issues like speech, hearing, dental health, and emotional well-being. By offering continuous, personalized care, these programs help individuals achieve optimal health, function, and quality of life throughout their lives.
