What is 3.Cleft Lip & Palate

Cleft lip and cleft palate are congenital anomalies of the mouth and lip that occur during pregnancy. In a cleft lip, the two sides of the lip do not fuse together as they should during fetal development. With cleft palate, the roof of the mouth fails to form completely, during pregnancy. A child may be born with a cleft lip, a cleft palate or both.
Cleft lip can be mild or severe with a single cleft or double cleft. Cleft palate can range from a tiny little hole in back of the roof of the mouth to a major cavity that runs all the way from the front to the back of the mouth.
Cleft in lip and/or palate is treatable. The goal of treatment for cleft lip and cleft palate is to ensure the child's ability to eat, speak, hear and breathe and to achieve a normal facial appearance.If not treated, the child may suffer from

1. Poor speech
