Pre-surgical preparation
Create alignment conditions that support surgical planning and healing.
Cleft Lip & Cleft Palate
Orthodontic care for cleft conditions is coordinated with surgical and speech teams. We guide growth, support healing phases, and help create a comfortable bite and confident smile over time.
Overview
Orthodontics for cleft lip and cleft palate is about more than alignment. We support the timing of different care stages so teeth, bite function, and oral comfort develop together in a coordinated way.
Treatment goals we focus on
Bite refinement during growth
Guide occlusion so children can chew comfortably as development continues.
Comfort-focused orthodontic pacing
Match appointments and adjustments to recovery stages, so treatment feels steady.
Retention to protect long-term results
Plan follow-up and retention strategies early for stability over time.
