Giving Your Child a Smile: Correcting Cleft Lip and Palate

Produced by Southen Illinois University School of Medicine


This upbeat, informative video will calm fears, answer questions, and prepare parents of a baby with cleft lip and palate to begin making the necessary decisions about their child's future. Medical illustrations and computer graphics are interwoven with expert narration to reassure parents that cleft lip and palate are correctable and help them understand what medical interventions will be required to guarantee their child a normal life. They will hear and see pediatricians, plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, speech pathologists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, and geneticists explain the role they play and the benefits of using a team approach to correct the child's problem. In a concise, nonthreatening way, parents will be told what to expect from a developmental perspective and when to expect corrective surgery to be required.

Throughout the video parents will see encouraging "before" and "after" pictures of children who have had corrective surgery and be comforted by parents who have been through the process and are very happy with the results.
