Description
Melissa Picinato-Pirola and co-authors study speech changes after jaw surgery in people with cleft lip and palate, in a 2025 paper. The surgery advances the upper jaw. The team ask how phonetic traits, nasal measures, and airflow change with the operation, and how the bite relates to those changes. Speech in this group depends on both structure and function, so the question matters for care planning.
Fifty-one patients with repaired clefts took part, near evenly split by sex, with an average age of thirty-one. Three skilled judges rated speech traits, and standard tools measured nasality and the valve function at the back of the mouth. Judges agreed well with each other. Speech production improved clearly after surgery, in tongue placement for several sounds.
