Cleft Lip and Palate
Evaluation
Before any treatment is planned, you will meet with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for a complete medical evaluation. During this visit, your surgeon will start by asking about your medical history and conducting a thorough physical and dental examination, noting any problems you are experiencing due to your cleft lip or palate.
After this evaluation, your surgeon will discuss the treatment options that best meet your individual needs.
