Craniofacial Disorders
Craniofacial disorders are conditions that affect the structure and appearance of the skull and face. These disorders can occur due to genetic factors, environmental influences, or a combination of both. Common examples include cleft lip, cleft palate, and craniosynostosis, where the bones in the skull fuse too early.
Treatment for craniofacial disorders often involves a team of specialists, including surgeons, orthodontists, and speech therapists. Interventions may include surgery to correct structural issues, dental care to align teeth, and therapy to improve communication skills. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for better outcomes.
