Palate Repair for Healthy Oral and Facial Development
Palate repair, also known as cleft palate repair, is a surgical procedure designed to correct a birth defect of the palate. The primary goal of this surgery is to close the gap in the palate, allowing the teeth and facial bones to develop normally. Palate repair surgery is typically performed between the ages of 9 to 18 months and often involves a team of specialists, including an oral surgeon, pediatric dentist, orthodontist, and plastic surgeon.
