How is the effect of cleft lip repair?

Cleft lip is a type of disease that occurs in children and is generally congenital. Moreover, cleft lip surgery cannot be restored in one go. In most cases, repeated surgeries are required. Therefore, in addition to the impact on children's lives, this type of disease will also leave a huge shadow on their psychology. This requires choosing a more formal hospital for surgery. The postoperative effect is still good, but it also varies from person to person.

1. Cleft lip and palate is a common congenital developmental malformation of the oral and maxillofacial region. Its treatment has been widely carried out in various parts of our country. Various surgical methods have been continuously improved and enhanced to achieve better results, but because the treatment of cleft lip and palate is limited to surgical repair, the long-term results are often not satisfactory. When patients grow up, they often have nasal and lip deformities, underdevelopment of the middle third of the face, malocclusion, slurred speech, etc. Therefore, orthodontic treatment of cleft lip and palate is essential. Orthodontic treatment runs through the entire process of cleft lip and palate sequential treatment, from the birth of the child to the permanent tooth period, and plays an important role in the occlusion, jaw, and facial development of cleft lip and palate patients and in achieving good treatment results.

2. Preoperative orthodontic treatment of cleft lip and palate is an important part of the sequential treatment of cleft lip and palate. Since cleft lip and palate itself has serious tissue defects, loss of maxillary continuity, and tissue displacement of various bone segments of the maxillary bone, it adds many difficulties to the operation and requires preoperative orthodontics.

3. The effect of cleft lip repair surgery is generally very good, as follows: After cleft lip repair surgery, your smile will be free of cracks. In addition, the effects of cleft lip repair surgery can last for 20 years, which is obviously a great effect. Although current surgical techniques are relatively mature, the surgical site is still relatively fragile and easily damaged after the operation, so it must be carefully cared for so that the effect can be maintained longer.

4. The effects of cleft lip repair surgery can last for 20 years. Although, for the vast majority of patients, the surgical effects can last for such a long time, some patients are careless, have poor follow-up care, or have physical reasons or external injuries, which will affect the duration of the surgical effects.

5. Cleft lip correction is a very complicated operation, which requires not only good skills but also extensive medical knowledge of the doctor. Generally, cleft lip requires about two courses of treatment. If it is more serious, it may take three to five courses. The doctor will decide based on the situation.
