Andresen Prosthodontics is excited to announce the introduction of Nasoalveolar Molding (NAM) for cleft lip and palate care in Reno. This innovative treatment provides a non-surgical solution to help infants born with cleft conditions by reshaping the tissues around the lip and nose before surgery, ensuring better surgical outcomes and an improved quality of life for these young patients.

"At Andresen Prosthodontics, we understand the emotional and physical challenges that come with cleft lip and palate conditions," said Dr. Craig Andresen, leading prosthodontist at the practice. "With Nasoalveolar Molding (NAM), we can help infants and their families by providing a less invasive, non-surgical treatment option that improves the surgical results. NAM has proven to be an essential step in early cleft care, offering hope and better long-term results."

Nasoalveolar Molding (NAM) is a revolutionary technique that works by gently molding and repositioning the tissues around the cleft lip and palate area before surgical repair. By using this approach, NAM helps align the tissues, reducing the need for extensive surgery and creating a more natural and effective outcome for children undergoing cleft lip and palate treatment.

“We believe that early intervention is critical for the best results,” said Dr. Allison Andresen. "NAM not only helps prepare the lip and palate for surgery but also provides significant comfort for infants, improving their overall experience during the treatment process."

The NAM procedure at Andresen Prosthodontics is non-invasive, designed to be gentle and effective, offering both medical and emotional relief to parents and caregivers. The treatment is custom-fit for each patient and can be adjusted as the child grows, ensuring optimal alignment and support throughout the treatment journey.
