We treat a wide variety of craniofacial conditions, including:
- Cleft lip and/or palate
- Cranial anomalies including craniosynostosis (premature fusion of the sutures of the skull), plagiocephaly (misshapen head) and encephalocele (protrusion of the brain)
- Dental anomalies, including malocclusion, missing teeth, extra teeth, and structural jaw issues
- Genetic issues involving the head and face
- Microtia (congenital anomaly of the ear)
- Other anomalies of the ear, skull, face or jaw
- Velopharyngeal insufficiency (difficulty in speaking due to anatomic dysfunction of the soft palate or the pharynx)
We also care for young patients with craniofacial anomalies that are associated with underlying genetic syndromes, including:
- Apert syndrome
- CHARGE syndrome
- Crouzon syndrome
- Fibrous dysplasia
- Goldenhar disease
- Hemifacial microsomia
- Neurofibromatosis type 1
- Pfeiffer syndrome
- Parry-Romberg Syndrome (progressive hemifacial atrophy)
- Pierre Robin syndrome
- Smith-Lemli-Optiz syndrome (SLOS)
- Stickler syndrome
- Treacher-Collins syndrome
- Velocardiofacial syndrome (22q11.2 deletion syndrome)
