Cleft Palate Treatment
Restoring Function, Enhancing Smiles
A cleft palate is more than just a gap in the roof of the mouth—it can impact a child’s ability to eat, speak, and even breathe properly. At Doshi Smiles, we specialize in comprehensive cleft palate treatment, ensuring that every child receives the best possible care for a healthy and confident future.
What is a Cleft Palate?
A cleft palate occurs when the roof of the mouth (palate) does not fully close during early fetal development, leaving an opening. This condition can affect:
Challenges Faced by Children with Cleft Palate
- Feeding – Infants with cleft palate may struggle to create suction while feeding.
- Speech Development – Difficulty forming certain sounds due to improper airflow.
- Hearing Issues – Increased risk of middle ear infections and potential hearing loss.
- Dental Concerns – Misaligned teeth and other oral health challenges.
Surgical Treatment for Cleft palate
Cleft palate repair surgery is typically performed between 9 to 18 months of age to close the gap and restore normal function.
How the Surgery Works
- Precise Tissue Reconstruction – The palate is carefully repaired to restore proper separation between the mouth and nasal cavity.
- Improved Speech and Eating Function – Surgery allows better control of airflow and food passage, improving speech clarity and swallowing.
- Long-Term Developmental Benefits – Correcting the palate early helps with normal facial growth and function.
