Craniofacial anomalies are a wide spectrum of developmental abnormalities that manifest as malformations of bones, mucous membranes, or facial muscles. They can appear as separate anomalies, such as cleft palate and/or lip, and several anomalies can be combined in a syndrome or sequence. The severity and extent of anomalies varies in each individual case and they can result as mild or serious difficulties. The main and most common anomalies are cleft palate and lip, micrognathia, and consequential glossoptosis; their presence results in feeding difficulties. Feeding difficulties are present in most cases and can vary from mild to severe. They lead to an insufficient intake of nutrients, thus making it more difficult for the child to progress and slow down of development. In order to regulate the child's condition and contribute to his further development there are developed special feeding techniques, additional aids such as soft baby bottles, some with longer, and softer nipples, larger openings, furthermore prosthetic aids that are helpful for children with clefts. There is a surgical method of treatment for every malformation and it is indicated in more serious cases when difficulties are still present after the application of non-surgical techniques and in cases where the condition did not improve with further development of the oral cavity.
