Abstract

Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) is a non-surgical way to reshape and align the gingiva, lip, and nostrils to reduce the severity of the initial cleft deformity before cheiloplasty and ultimately obtain better maxillary growth and arch form.1 The advantages of NAM have also created nasal symmetry by lifting a collapsed alar of the nose, correcting septal deviation, and lengthening the columella.
A case report of a 2-day-old baby boy with unilateral left complete cleft lip and palate being treated with nasoalveolar molding (NAM) for 3 months. This is a case report of a boy with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate for 3 months.
Before undergoing cheiloplasty, the patient had been followed up and the device had been adjusted every 2-4 weeks. The satisfactory results were obtained as the patient was able to suck well and gain weight; in addition, the shape of the nose appeared similar to the normal site as well as the reduction of the cleft gaps was achieved. The treatment outcome improved the aesthetics of the patient’s facial appearance and quality of life. This brought the parents great satisfaction.
