Abstract

The orofacial cleft, a congenital cleft of the upper lip, jaw, and/or palate, is a serious condition for children and parents. Through practical experience and new insights, the multidisciplinary orofacial cleft teams at six specialized centers discovered how much this condition requires personalized care. For example, the treatment wishes of parents and children/young people may be different. Even patients with a similar type of orofacial cleft may experience the effects in a completely different way. Years of consulting with physicians may also result in treatment fatigue in young patients.
