Cleft Palate Treatment at Nine Eleven Clinic, Mira Road, Mumbai with Dr. Brijesh Yadav
Cleft palate is a birth defect that occurs when the roof of the mouth (palate) doesn't completely fuse together during fetal development. This opening can affect feeding, speech, and facial development.
At Nine Eleven Clinic in Mira Road, Mumbai, Dr. Brijesh Yadav, a qualified and experienced doctor, offers comprehensive cleft palate treatment for children and adults.
There are two main types of cleft palate:
• Cleft of the soft palate: This affects the back of the roof of the mouth, near the throat.
• Cleft of the hard palate: This affects the bony front part of the roof of the mouth.
Sometimes, both the soft and hard palate can be involved. Cleft palate can also occur with a cleft lip, which is a separation in the upper lip.
- • Difficulty feeding due to leakage of liquids through the nose
- • Speech problems, such as nasal-sounding speech
- • Tightens loose abdominal muscles for better core support
- • Frequent ear infections
- • Dental problems
Cleft palate treatment typically involves surgery to close the opening in the roof of the mouth. The timing of surgery depends on the severity of the cleft and may involve multiple procedures throughout childhood.
Dr. Brijesh Yadav will work closely with you and your child (if applicable) to develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan may include:
- Cleft palate surgery: This is the main treatment for cleft palate. The surgeon will reposition tissues and close the opening in the roof of the mouth.
- • Speech therapy: This can help improve speech development and articulation.
- • Dental care: A dentist can address any dental problems caused by the cleft palate.
- • Orthodontics: Braces or other orthodontic treatments may be needed to correct any bite problems.
Dr. Brijesh Yadav understands the physical and emotional challenges associated with cleft palate. He is committed to providing compassionate care and comprehensive treatment options to help children and adults with cleft palate achieve optimal outcomes.
