Testing AlignBabyCleft for early baby cleft alignment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests AlignBabyCleft, a set of clear aligners, in very young babies with cleft lip and/or cleft palate. The goal is to see whether it can safely guide early alignment while the family attends regular orthodontic check-ups.
