WHAT IS CLEFT?
A cleft is an opening in the lip and/or palate that occurs early in pregnancy where the developing facial structure does not fuse together completely.
How Cleft Affects Lives?
Studies have shown that living with any facial difference can have a negative impact on mental health and overall quality of life.
