Nasoalveolar Molding Appliance CMU-NAM: Two Cases Reports
Nasoalveolar Molding Appliance
Keywords:
cleft lip and cleft palate, nasoalveolar molding appliance, CMU-NAMAbstract
Cleft lip and cleft palate are common birth defects present with the splitting upper lip and palate. They can be treated by surgical correction along with facial growth. The nasoalveolar molding appliance (NAM) treatment can reduce the gap and enhances a more symmetrical alveolar ridge and nose together with promoting normal growth development as the favorable esthetic profile. This article presented nasoalveolar molding treatment of the unilateral cleft lip cleft palate patient and bilateral cleft lip cleft palate patient with Chiang Mai university NAM (CMU-NAM), prior to cheiloplasty and showed the favorable surgical outcome.
It can be concluded that insertion of the CMU-NAM nasal prior to cheiloplasty results in postoperative patients that is close to normal facial shape
