3D printed aligners could transform cleft lip care for newborns

NCT ID NCT06683560

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new 3D printed aligner for infants born with a complete cleft lip and palate. The device aims to make nasoalveolar molding (a treatment that reshapes the gums and nose before surgery) more accurate and easier to use. Twenty infants under 45 days old will receive the treatment, and doctors will measure how much the cleft gap shrinks.
