Craniofacial anomalies are physical differences in the structure of the skull and face that can occur at birth. These conditions can affect the shape of the head, the alignment of the facial features, and the development of the teeth. Common examples include cleft lip, cleft palate, and craniosynostosis, where the bones in the skull fuse too early. These anomalies can vary in severity and may impact a person's ability to eat, speak, or breathe. Treatment often involves a team of specialists, including surgeons, dentists, and speech therapists, to address both functional and aesthetic concerns.
