How should children with cleft lip and palate face the future?

Rabbit lip, also known as rabbit lip, is a simple cleft lip, which is mainly caused by the failure of some bones and tissues of the embryo to develop normally. The main performance is that a child can find a crack on his lips after birth, which can be divided into I, II and III degrees according to the size of the crack.

Cleft lip and palate is the condition that both lips and palate are cracked, which is mainly related to nutritional deficiency during pregnancy, endocrine abnormalities, viral infection and genetic factors. It is characterized by cracks in the lips and gaps between the mouth and the nasal cavity. The arrangement of teeth in the mouth will be chaotic, and newborns are prone to malnutrition, difficulty in pronunciation and unclear language.

Cleft lip and palate is congenital, so it is best to treat it in infancy, because children with cleft lip and palate at this stage have small wounds and are easy to correct, and will not affect their future appearance, pronunciation, swallowing and sucking milk. Therefore, the best treatment time for children with cleft lip and palate is 3 to 6 months after birth, and the best treatment time for children with cleft lip and palate is 12- 18 months after birth. For patients with conditional complete cleft lip and palate, corrective treatment can be carried out within one to two weeks after birth.
