What Is Cleft Lip & Palate?
A cleft lip is a physical separation in the upper lip, while a cleft palate is an opening in the roof of the mouth. These congenital conditions occur during early fetal development and can affect a child’s ability to eat, speak, hear, and breathe properly.
At Dr. Tayyeb’s Dental & Maxillofacial Center, we offer advanced cleft lip & palate surgery in Gorakhpur to restore both function and appearance, giving children a healthier start in life.
Why Surgery Is Essential
Cleft conditions can lead to:
- Feeding difficulties in infants
- Speech and language delays
- Ear infections and hearing loss
- Dental problems and facial asymmetry
- Emotional and social challenges
Surgical correction not only improves physical function but also boosts self-esteem and social confidence.
The Surgical Process
- Initial Evaluation
Our team assesses the child’s overall health, cleft severity, and timing for surgery. - Cleft Lip Repair
Typically performed between 3–6 months of age. The lip is reconstructed to restore symmetry and muscle function. - Cleft Palate Repair
Usually done between 9–18 months. The palate is closed to improve speech and feeding. - Follow-Up Procedures
Additional surgeries may be needed for speech correction, dental alignment, or nasal refinement.
Benefits of Cleft Surgery

- Clearer speech and communication
- Reduced risk of ear infections
- Enhanced facial aesthetics
- Better social integration and confidence
