Beyond providing unmatched clinical care at Boston Children's, we're working around the clock to design approaches that let kids be kids. The Cleft Lip and Palate Program at Boston Children's Hospital is one of the largest and most experienced treatment centers in the country, caring for nearly 600 infants, children and adolescents every year. Because a cleft can involve the lip, nose and palate (the roof of the mouth), a child's hearing, feeding, speech and dental functions may all be affected. A dedicated and knowledgeable team of specialists from several disciplines is necessary to give you and your child the long-term support you need.
