Latham appliance

Latham appliance

One of the new innovations of cleft lip and cleft palate repair, the Latham appliance is surgically inserted by use of pins during the child's 4th or 5th month. After it is in place, the doctor, or parents, turn a screw daily to bring the cleft together to assist with future lip and/or palate repair.
