craniofacial teams

Craniofacial teams are specialized groups of healthcare professionals who collaborate to provide comprehensive care for individuals with facial and skull differences, such as cleft lip or palate. These teams typically include surgeons, dentists, orthodontists, speech therapists, psychologists, and other specialists. Working together, they develop personalized treatment plans to address functional issues like breathing, speaking, and eating, as well as aesthetic concerns. The goal is to improve appearance and quality of life by ensuring coordinated, expert care tailored to each person's unique needs throughout different stages of development.
