The primary goal of cleft lip and cleft palate treatment is to enable the child to develop normal eating, speaking, and hearing abilities, while also achieving a natural facial appearance. Treatment for these conditions is carried out through surgical intervention. Prior to surgery, techniques such as nasoalveolar molding (NAM) or other molding methods applied by pedodontists can reduce the size of the cleft and control its excessive widening. Cleft lip surgeries are performed at the earliest possible age, typically at the end of the third month, provided the child's overall development and tissue healing capacity are suitable, and with the aim of leaving minimal scarring. Cleft palate surgeries are ideally performed before the child begins to speak (generally between 12-18 months of age), waiting long enough not to negatively impact facial development, but early enough to address potential negative effects on speech functions. In some cases, staged surgical interventions may be necessary, or treatment may still be possible for children even if the ideal time has passed. The two most important criteria for surgery are that the baby has normal weight and growth values appropriate for their age and development on the date of the operation, and that there are no active infections, especially upper respiratory tract infections. These operations, performed under general anesthesia in a hospital operating room, utilize various surgical techniques and procedures to repair the cleft lip and palate, reconstruct the affected areas, and prevent or treat potential complications.
