The mission of Alliance for Smiles is to transform the lives of children and communities impacted by cleft lip and palate by providing free comprehensive treatment, while enabling local teams to sustainably provide quality care on their own.

To ensure that our patients have the best outcome possible we have provided the documents below which should help patients and families prepare for treatment.

Alliance for Smiles follows the guidelines of the American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association (ACPA).
The ACPA has developed a free booklet to help families prepare for surgery. We recommend that you read this wonderful resource. Preparing fort Surgery

The below materials have been prepared by AfS to provide you with information about cleft surgery.
We provide them free of charge for your use.
