===Treatment schedule=== Each person's treatment schedule is individualized. The table below shows a common sample treatment schedule. The colored squares indicate the average timeframe in which the indicated procedure occurs. In some cases, this is usually one procedure, for example lip repair. In other cases, it is an ongoing therapy, for example speech therapy. In most cases of cleft lip and palate that involve the alveolar bone, patients will need a treatment plan including the prevention of cavities, orthodontics, alveolar bone grafting, and possibly jaw surgery.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Scalzone A, Flores-Mir C, Carozza D, d'Apuzzo F, Grassia V, Perillo L | title = Secondary alveolar bone grafting using autologous versus alloplastic material in the treatment of cleft lip and palate patients: systematic review and meta-analysis | journal = Progress in Orthodontics | volume = 20 | issue = 1 | pages = 6 | date = February 2019 | pmid = 30740615 | pmc = 6369233 | doi = 10.1186/s40510-018-0252-y | doi-access = free }}</ref> {| class="wikitable" width="90%" style="margin: 1em auto;" |- | Age | {{center|0m}} | {{center|3m}} | {{center|6m}} | {{center|9m}} | {{center|1y}} | {{center|2y}} | {{center|3y}} | {{center|4y}} | {{center|5y}} | {{center|6y}} | {{center|7y}} | {{center|8y}} | {{center|9y}} | {{center|10y}} | {{center|11y}} | {{center|12y}} | {{center|13y}} | {{center|14y}} | {{center|15y}} | {{center|16y}} | {{center|17y}} | {{center|18y}} |- | [[Palatal obturator]] | bgColor="#009900" | | bgColor="#009900" | | bgColor="#009900" | | bgColor="#009900" | | bgColor="#009900" | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |- | Repair cleft lip | | bgColor="#ff0000" | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |- | Repair [[soft palate]] | | | | bgColor="#ff6666" | | bgColor="#ff6666" | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |- | Repair [[hard palate]] | | | | bgColor="#9900cc" | | bgColor="#9900cc" | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |- | [[Tympanostomy tube]] | | | bgColor="#ff0099" | | bgColor="#ff0099" | | bgColor="#ff0099" | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |- | [[Speech therapy]]/[[Augmentation pharyngoplasty|pharyngoplasty]] | | | | | | | bgColor="#666699" | | bgColor="#666699" | | bgColor="#666699" | | bgColor="#666699" | | | | | | | | | | | | | |- | [[Alveolar cleft grafting]] | | | | | | | | | | | | | bgColor="#ff3300" | | bgColor="#ff3300" | | bgColor="#ff3300" | | | | | | | | |- | [[Orthodontics]] | | | | | | | | | | | bgColor="#0000cc" | | | bgColor="#0000cc" | | bgColor="#0000cc" | | bgColor="#0000cc" | | bgColor="#0000cc" | | bgColor="#0000cc" | | bgColor="#0000cc" | | bgColor="#0000cc" | | bgColor="#0000cc" | | bgColor="#0000cc" | | bgColor="#0000cc" | |- | [[Orthognathic surgery]] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bgColor="#ffff00" | | bgColor="#ffff00" | | bgColor="#ffff00" | | bgColor="#ffff00" | |}
