Cleft Lip and Palate
Cleft lip and palate are congenital deformities affecting the upper lip and roof of the mouth. Occurring due to incomplete development during pregnancy, they can lead to difficulties in feeding, speech, and hearing. Treatment typically involves surgical correction, along with supportive therapies for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.
