PretoriaSmile Orthodontics is committed to providing specialised orthodontic care for individuals with cleft lip, cleft palate, and craniofacial anomalies. We understand the unique dental challenges that come with these conditions, which is why we are offering a complimentary orthodontic screening to help families determine the best course of treatment for their loved ones.
Why We Offer Complimentary Cleft Care Screenings
Cleft lip and palate are among the most common birth conditions worldwide, affecting a child’s ability to speak, eat, breathe, and smile confidently. While surgery is typically performed at an early age to repair the cleft, ongoing dental and orthodontic care is essential to ensuring proper oral development.
At Pretoria Smile, we believe that early intervention plays a critical role in improving long-term outcomes for individuals with cleft-related dental concerns. Our complimentary screening is designed to:
✔ Identify early orthodontic issues related to cleft and craniofacial conditions
✔ Determine the need for braces, expanders, or other orthodontic treatments
✔ Provide expert guidance on the best time to begin treatment
✔ Offer reassurance to parents and caregivers navigating cleft-related dental care
By offering this screening at no cost, our goal is to make essential dental care more accessible to families who may feel overwhelmed by the challenges of cleft treatment.
