Craniofacial abnormalities are either congenital or acquired deformities of the skull, face, and jaw. In addition to their outward appearance, these abnormalities affect a child's capacity for eating, speaking, breathing, and hearing. These include facial asymmetry, craniosynostosis, and cleft lip and palate. Anomalies of the craniofacial region might result from environmental, genetic, or other sources. Psychiatrists, speech therapists, orthodontists, and surgeons often collaborate to treat patients, and early discovery is essential. The shape and function of the face can be significantly improved by contemporary medical and surgical techniques. With the right care, people with craniofacial abnormalities can become more fully integrated into daily life by improving their functionality, attractiveness, and quality of life.
