The treatment is not complete yet. You need to be in constant touch with your surgeon and the next surgery will be for the palate.

Patient is going to require continuous follow-up and treatment by a group of dental specialists including oral surgeons and orthodontists . Patient may also require help from a speech therapist. Hence I would advice immediate consultation and followup by a team of cleft specialists.
