About the Cleft problem

 1 in 700 babies are born with a cleft lip and/or palate globally.

 Clefts cause difficulties in eating, breathing, hearing, and speaking.


What are Cleft Lips and Palates?

A cleft occurs when certain body parts and structures do not fuse together during fetal development. Clefts can involve the lip and/or the roof of the mouth, which is made up of both hard and soft palate.


How common are Clefts?

Research indicates that ethnicity plays a major role in the risk of Cleft formation. Experts opine that the highest cleft incidences are among Asians (approximately 1 in 500 births). Caucasians have an average incidence of 1 in 700 births and people of African descent have the lowest incidence of approximately 1 in 1,200 births.


What causes Cleft?

As per medical experts, the causes of cleft lip and/or palate are multifactorial and may include a genetic predisposition as well as environmental issues such as drug and alcohol use, smoking, maternal illness, infections, or lack of Vitamin B, also known as folic acid.


Can clefts be treated?

Reconstructive surgery for clefts has evolved over more than half a century, and today’s techniques and procedures have advanced so much. Currently the Cleft surgery is simple which can take as little as 45 minutes, and the positive transformation is immediate. Patients see their smile for the first time, parents cry tears of joy, and lives and communities are changed forever for the good.
