Optimal treatment of cleft requires medical specialists from multiple fields to work hand in hand. Accordingly, we provide the following services for cleft patients at Al Mustafa Medical Center.

• Pediatrician: is responsible for the nutrition, vaccination and infection control of cleft children.
• Orthodontist: is responsible for Naso-Alveolar moulding during the first three months of life. Naso-Alveolar moulding reduces the severity of the cleft in preparation of the cleft correction surgery, which improves outcomes and may reduce the number of surgeries needed.
• Plastic surgeon: is responsible for the surgical repair of cleft lip and palate through lip nose revision, cleft rhinoplasty, pharyngoplasty and alveolar bone garft.
• Speech language pathologist: after successful cleft palate surgery, speech therapy is often needed to improve the quality of speech, since the patients need to learn how to use their repaired organs.
• ENT surgeon treats ear problems, which are a possible side effect of cleft.

Our medical professionals are all highly trained and experienced in the treatment of cleft. If you or a family member are in need of cleft treatment please do not hesitate to contact us!
