Nasoalveolar molding in cleft lip and palate, a review of literature

Abstract

Nasoalveolar molding represents a paradigm shift from traditional presurgical orthopedics in the care of cleft lip and palate patients which has been applied increasingly in the past two decades. This article is a review of recent literature apropos of objectives, appliances, complications and short and long term effects of this technique.
