Background: This study aimed to assess caregivers' experiences and perceptions of applying lip taping as presurgical orthopedic therapy (PSO) for infants with a cleft lip and palate.
Methods: A retrospective survey was conducted, inviting parents to respond to a series of structured questions between September 2022 and June 2023. The questionnaire focused on evaluating parents' experience with lip taping, a crucial component of PSO. Descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test were employed to analyze relationships between categorical variables.
Results: Of the 157 participants, overall, 122 completed the survey, forming the dataset for analysis. A majority (90.0%) reported sufficient experience in using lip taping and no major difficulties with lip taping application. Caregivers with higher education levels exhibited a significantly positive correlation ( = 0.015). Additionally, 93.4% confirmed the efficacy of lip taping for premaxillary segment retraction, with this outcome being correlated with caregivers' knowledge and education ( = 0.008). Interestingly, caregivers' age also demonstrated a substantial association ( 0.020).
Conclusions: While a vast majority expressed positive experiences with lip taping as a presurgical treatment, continuous, tailored education on cleft lip and palate is imperative. This education should be directed towards caregivers and individuals offering direct support to parents of children with CLP, ensuring optimal care and preparation for surgical treatment.

Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the data in peer-reviewed medical literature and evaluate the effectiveness of lip taping as a pre-surgical naso-alveolar molding (NAM) technique in infants with cleft lip and/or palate.
Design: An electronic search of various databases for relevant studies, regardless of date, from inception to June 2023 was carried out and evaluated. After completing the electronic search and applying our inclusion/exclusion criteria, 6 studies-2 randomized control trials, 2 non-randomized studies, and 2 case series-were included.
An Innovative Technique of Presurgical Lip, Alveolus, and Nose Approximation (PLANA) for Infants with Clefts.
J Craniofac Surg
June 2024
Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery, NYU Langone Health, New York, NY.
The innovative technique of "presurgical lip, alveolus, and nose approximation" (PLANA) offers a new approach within the domain of presurgical infant orthopedics for infants born with cleft lip and palate. Presurgical lip, alveolus, and nose approximation introduces the utilization of the NoseAlign device in conjunction with medical adhesive tapes, designed to approximate and support displaced soft tissue nasolabial structures in patients with cleft, without an intraoral plate. The NoseAlign device, constructed from medical-grade silicone, consists of 2 tubular portions that fit into the nostrils, connected by a columella band.

Dynamic Molding of Cleft Nasal Cartilage in Unilateral Complete Cleft Lip and Palate Using Simple Segmented NAM.
J Maxillofac Oral Surg
December 2023
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dental Sciences, SGT University, Gurugram, 122505 India.
Objective: Nasal morphology remodeling by nasoalveolar molding (NAM) before primary lip repair gives better post-surgery outcomes. However, traditional NAM has high technical sensitivity, a steep learning curve, frequent need for modifications, and interrupts lifting forces on the nasal cartilage during oral movements, thereby reducing overall efficacy of device. To eliminate interaction and interdependency of the nasal bulb with alveolar molding plate, we propose segmenting NAM (SNAM) into nasolabial complex molding (NCM) and alveolar complex molding (ACM).
