Title Of Article :
Influence of malocclusion on speech disorders in subjects with cleft lip and palate
Abstract :
Cleft lip and palate is the most common congenital anomaly of the face. Because of anatomical and functional deviations in the oral structure, patients with cleft lip and palate are at an elevated risk for speech problems. Treatment of the cleft lip and palate requires a multidisciplinary team approach from infancy to adulthood. As an important part of this approach, orthodontic treatment might have positive contributions in the management of speech.
