Comprehensive Care for Growing Smiles
When a child is born with a cleft lip or palate, the right team makes all the difference. At Thames Orthodontics in Auburn, Dr. Thames works alongside a trusted cleft lip and palate team to provide coordinated, compassionate care from early childhood through the teen years.
What Is Cleft Lip & Palate Treatment?
Cleft lip and cleft palate occur when a baby’s lip or mouth doesn’t form properly during pregnancy. It can affect feeding, speech, dental health, and facial growth.
Treatment often involves a combination of surgery, orthodontics, and other therapies to help children eat, speak, and smile confidently.
At Thames Orthodontics, Dr. Thames partners with surgeons, pediatric dentists, and speech specialists to ensure each phase of care is timed perfectly for the best possible results.
Benefits of Our Approach
Dr. Thames begins monitoring cleft patients early to guide proper growth and development. This proactive care helps set the stage for healthy teeth, correct jaw function, and balanced facial structure.
Every cleft case is different. Using advanced imaging and customized treatment strategies, Dr. Thames tailors care to your child’s unique needs, whether preparing for surgery, guiding teeth into place, or correcting the bite.
We focus on helping kids feel good about their appearance during every stage of care. That means discreet options when possible and treatment planning that supports both function and aesthetics.
