Dental Libary Cleft Lip/Palate-  A common craniofacial defect in which the upper lip and nose form incorrectly during                  embryonic development.  In antiquity, this condition was referred to as "hare lip".   Clefts cause                  disfigurement and misalignment of the jaws.  Fortunately, in this country, almost no children are                  allowed to grow with this condition untreated, despite the fact that it occurs as commonly as 1 in                   700 births.   Dr. Groh is proud to be the co-founder of the esteemed Craniofacial Center at Miami                  Children's Hospital, which specifically helps children with this problem.
