Abstract
This article provides an overview of timeline of interventions and the critical role different providers have in the continuum of cleft lip and palate care. The earliest intervention is the presurgical infant orthopedic treatment, which is initiated in the first few weeks of life. This is followed by several interventions done in a phased manner. These include: lip repair, palate repair, velopharyngeal surgery, maxillary expansion, maxillary bone grafting, limited phase of orthodontic treatment, comprehensive phase of orthodontic treatment (with/without orthognathic surgery), and restorative dentistry.
