Cleft palate repair

Cleft palate is more common and can occur on its own or with cleft lip. Cleft palate not only has soft tissue deformities, but most patients with cleft palate can also be accompanied by bone tissue defects and deformities of varying degrees. They are far more severe than cleft lip in terms of physical dysfunction in sucking, eating and language. Due to jaw bone growth and development disorders, the middle of the face often collapses. In severe cases, the face is dish-shaped and the occlusion is disordered (usually anti-jaw or open jaw). Therefore, various physiological dysfunctions caused by cleft palate deformity, especially language dysfunction and tooth disorder, will adversely affect patients 'daily life, study, and work, and also easily cause patients' psychological disorders.
