The repair of the cleft palate (also known as a palatoplasty) is usually done at six to eighteen months of age. Although the child may look normal from the outside, the cleft palate can be seen by looking for a separation in the roof of the child's mouth.
A cleft palate is when the split is in the roof of the mouth. If your baby has a cleft palate, he may have just a small gap. If the cleft is severe, the roof of his mouth may be almost completely separated. It can happen with or without a cleft lip (Tolarova 2015, NHS 2014a).
