چکیده

Introduction: Treatment of cleft lip and palate is usually achieved by intraoral molding plates. However, this method requires an intraoral impression, which is difficult to perform in infants, and uses plates that can increase the risk of injury to the oral tissue. Here, we introduce a simpler approach, which makes the treatment less costly, reduces the risk of injury, and is easier for parents and caregivers to manage. Conclusions: NAM, with nasal elevation, considerably reduced the cleft width and the nasal architecture was improved by this technique.
