Through a mixed-method study, it was found that cleft lip and palate patients face dental and oral health issues affecting daily activities, with post-surgery individuals reporting poorer OHRQoL. Gender disparities in cleft types and correction status were observed, highlighting the need for tailored interventions. The study underscores the importance of early diagnosis, surgical intervention, and integrated mental health support for improving outcomes in patients with CLP.
