Cleft lip and palate treatment refers to surgical interventions used to correct birth defects that affect the upper lip, palate (roof of the mouth), or both. This condition results in a gap or split in these areas, which can impact speech development, eating, and facial aesthetics. Treatment may involve one or multiple surgeries, often performed during infancy or early childhood. The primary goal is to improve function and appearance.
