Cleft lip and cleft palate are birth defects that occur when a baby’s lip or mouth does not form properly during pregnancy. Together, these birth defects are commonly called “Oro-facial clefts”. Cleft palate alone can often have problems with feed, speech & hearing and problems with teeth development. The causes of these clefts among most infants are unknown. Cleft lip and cleft palate in a child are thought to be caused by a combination of genes and other factors during their gestational development.
