Treatment can begin shortly after birth for these congenital conditions, which may affect the ability to eat, hear, and speak. Cleft lip and cleft palate can be treated with orthodontic procedures and surgery by our multidisciplinary experts, and rehabilitation services are offered throughout your child’s recovery period.
