So my daughters palate still have a dent in it from when she had the cleft lip. Its not that bad but…

it can take days or weeks my son only took a week and his second one was in

I can see where its coming. Its not exactly where the dent is. Its directly beside it. So im trying to figure out if I need to call her surgeon or not

@lizziemommy, awww well hopefully she doesn't have to get another surgery

I hope not. I barely made it through her first one

What do you mean dent? My daughter also had an alveolus cleft. Which is a cleft in her gum line about where the cleft in her lip was at. She had to have a bone graft to repair it. And will have to have another bone graft later on if they didn't put enough bone there during the first surgery

My brother had it as well. They had to remove a lot of his teeth and he will have to have implants.

Here isn't that bad so hopefully they won't have a lot of repairing to do. @kase

If it's a cleft in the gum line she will have it fixed when she is around 8 or so. My daughter had hers fixed last year when she was 6.

Yeah that's what they told us. Would it affect her teeth @kase

Yes my daughter barely has any where they've had to pull them. Be prepared for a lot of orthodontist appointments. She will have to have a lot of mouth work done and probably teeth implants. My daughter is seven and has had 12 surgeries

@lizziemommy,

Like I said it's hard to tell because her palate isn't that bad. It's barely noticeable @kase

What are her drs saying? @lizziemommy

At first they said she'll be fine but now they want to see her since she's 1 now and has teeth so I'll find out in December @kase
