Comparing two types of cleft molding for babies with one-sided cleft
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of molding devices for babies with a cleft lip and palate on one side. The goal is to see which one works better to shape the gums and nose before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your baby has a cleft lip and gum on only one side.
