Comprehensive Management of a Cleft Patient: A Multidisciplinary Approach

Abstract

Background
Management of a cleft patient is not limited to surgical repair of lip and palate. Nasoalveolar molding begins within a few days after birth followed by Cheiloplasty and Palatoplasty by age one. Orthopedic interventions and orthognathic surgeries will follow at different stages of life as the child grows into an adult. Thus surgical and non-surgical support continues as required till adulthood and further.

Description
Our goal is to provide as much of multidisciplinary interventions to a cleft patient as possible. Here is a series of cases to demonstrate the same.
