What is a hare lip and a cleft palate?

The cleft lip and cleft palate are genetic abnormalities that develop in utero. Cleft lip - non-fused bone tissue in the frontal area of the upper jaw - a cleft connected to the nasal cavity. This defect can exist on its own or in combination with the cleft palate, which is a non-accrete palate of the upper jaw that connects the oral cavity and the nasal cavity. Such defects, in addition to disturbing the aesthetics of the appearance of the face, also cause physiological inconveniences in nutrition and in the formation of speech.

The causes of cleft lip and cleft palate lie in the wrong lifestyle of a pregnant woman, in the harmful atmosphere surrounding her.

The factors that provoked this genetic disorder may be:

  • Toxic infections during pregnancy,
  • toxic substances in the atmosphere during pregnancy,
  • radiation exposure during pregnancy,
  • harmful foods during pregnancy,
  • taking alcohol, drugs and medicines during pregnancy,
  • smoking during pregnancy.

Treatment of the cleft lip and cleft palate defect requires plastic surgery and either replacement of the defect with bone structures or prostheses - obturators that separate the nasal cavity and the oral cavity and change with the patient's age as the patient grows and grows as the upper jaw and bone structures of the nose. The frontal cleft of the upper jaw is connected, the soft tissues are sutured.

Treatment of the cleft lip and cleft palate defect begins as early as possible at the age of three months, taking into account the general state of health and the absence of pathologies that interfere with the operation. Early restoration of the anatomical structures of the nose and upper jaw is justified by creating opportunities for adequate nutrition for the infant, who is unable to make sucking movements in the presence of such defects.

Modern advances in plastic surgery and orthodontics are able to maximize the aesthetics of the face and form the correct bite.
