Thanks to your help, the girl underwent surgery to close an alveolar process cleft, which could have led to various complications: improper functioning of the oral and nasal cavities, speech defects, and malocclusion.

Ira was born weak, with many different problems. One of them was a cleft of the alveolar process—a defect in the bone tissue of the palate. Complex surgical intervention was required, and Ira's mother came to us for help.

"During the operation, a bone fragment was taken from Ira's thigh and then implanted at the site of the cleft," explains Nastya. The stitches were made with self-absorbing material, so removal is not necessary. Ira was discharged on the third day after the operation.

Now the girl is studying at home, eating only soft and pureed foods so as not to damage the stitches in her mouth, and is recovering. Friends, thank you for supporting the family!

About the campaign

Ira has facial skeletal developmental disorders and needs surgery

Ira was born with many congenital developmental disorders, which her mother has been trying to overcome since infancy. And the "red button" is burning right now with a problem with the jaw, which the operation will help solve.

Ira has developmental disorders of the facial skeleton: curvature of the nose, operated "cleft lip", cleft of the alveolar process, that is, the dental bed. Because of her, the girl's teeth are literally turned out and do not grow where they should (and, on the contrary, an atypical, extra tooth is stuck in the sky). At the same time, there is too much bone tissue around the edges of the jaw, so that it interferes with the dentition. And all this can be fixed with the help of bone grafting: take away from where there is excess bone tissue, and rearrange it to where there is little of it.

Without this operation, it may happen that a child bites off an apple and simply loses a tooth. And it is impossible to pay for this difficult case under compulsory medical insurance, and a single mother raising two twins does not have her own funds. Let's help Ira get into surgery!
