We can initially do a non surgical procedure called nasoalveolar moulding which should start as soon as possible. It reduces the number of surgeries required later. This procedure shall continue upto 6 months followed by surgical procedures. Regards Fusion Dental
Next Steps
visit a prosthodontist/orthodontist immediately.
Health Tips
treatment should start right now to achieve maximal closure and reduce the surgeries required
