Treatment Experiences in Adults Born With Cleft Lip and/or Palate: A Whole of Life Survey in the United Kingdom

Abstract

Although advances in health care may offer opportunities for adults to improve their quality of life, treatment decisions should be weighed with the support of a clinical psychologist where available. Guidance for young adults considering future treatment is also recommended. Finally, training and resources for local practitioners may improve general awareness of CL/P services and increase access to specialist care for adults with ongoing CL/P-related concerns.
