Abstract：
Neonates with cleft palate exhibit a malformed maxillary arch since birth. Newborns with various types of clefts exhibit multiple issues, primarily associated with their feeding habits. Feeding these children is crucial, as evidence indicates that newborns with this congenital deformity exhibit a slower growth rate compared to those without this condition. To mitigate these challenges, the conventional line of treatment for these children is obturator therapy to facilitate sucking or feeding followed by various surgical procedures. The following case report describes a 2-day-old girl, who reported with her parents to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, to seek treatment for congenital cleft present in her palate as it was interfering with her feeding habits. A feeding appliance was made with a direct technique to help the parents improve feeding habits. It also regulates milk flow by sealing the area separating the oral and nasal cavities. This feeding appliance is placed over the child\'s hard palate, creating a contact point that facilitates milk expression from the mother\'s mammary gland and making it easier for the neonate to compress the nipple. It shortens the time needed for feeding, eases feeding, and lessens nasal regurgitation.
摘要：
left裂的新生儿自出生以来表现出畸形的上颌弓。患有各种类型裂口的新生儿表现出多种问题，主要与他们的喂养习惯有关。喂养这些孩子至关重要，有证据表明，与没有这种情况的新生儿相比，患有这种先天性畸形的新生儿的生长速度较慢。为了缓解这些挑战，这些儿童的传统治疗方法是闭孔疗法，以促进吸吮或喂养，然后进行各种外科手术。以下病例报告描述了一个2天大的女孩，她和父母一起向儿科牙科部门报告，寻求治疗她腭中存在的先天性裂隙，因为它干扰了她的喂养习惯。采用直接技术制造了喂养器具，以帮助父母改善喂养习惯。它还通过密封口腔和鼻腔分离的区域来调节牛奶流动。这个喂食器具放在孩子的硬腭上，创建一个接触点，促进从母亲的乳腺乳汁的表达，使新生儿更容易压缩乳头。它缩短了进食所需的时间，简化喂养，减少鼻腔反流。
