Cleft Lip/Palate

A common craniofacial defect in which the upper lip and nose form incorrectly during embryonic development.In antiquity, this condition was referred to as "hare lip". Clefts

cause disfigurement and misalignment of the dental jaws. Fortunately, in this country, almost no children are allowed to grow with this condition untreated,

despite the fact that it occurs as commonly as 1 in 700 births. Dr. Groh is proud to be the co-founder of the esteemed Craniofacial Center at Miami Children's Hospital, which

specifically helps children with this problem.dental crown/bridge or implant
