Orthodontics is more than alignment. It is a critical part of comprehensive cleft care and long term well-being. In this video, Dr. Batra, a craniofacial orthodontist, highlights the importance of orthodontic treatment in improving oral health, confidence, and overall quality of life for children born with cleft lip and palate. World Orthodontic Health Day, organized by the World Federation of Orthodontists, is a global call to recognize the power of orthodontics and the role it plays in transforming lives. #WorldOrthodonticHealthDay #CleftCare #Orthodontics #SmileTrain #ComprehensiveCare

Meet Benicio from Argentina 🇦🇷 Raised by a close, loving family, Benicio was surrounded by support from the very beginning. His grandmother, Victoria, remembers knowing about his cleft before he was even born and feeling grateful when he received the care he needed. With support from Asociación PIEL, Smile Train's partner, Benicio received treatment that helped him grow into the polite, joyful boy his teachers and classmates adore. He loves to paint, play with his toys, and go for walks with his family. And his grandmother hopes for nothing more than to see him grow up healthy, happy, and full of possibility. Watch the video to hear Benicio’s story and see the love that surrounds him. #smiletrain #cleftcare

Strength doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes, it looks like a mother showing up—again and again—through questions, uncertainty, and hope. Cleft Community Advisory Council Member (CCAC Monica Bush, shares what so many families experience on the cleft journey: the quiet resilience of moms who advocate, comfort, and keep moving forward no matter what. And the truth? You don’t have to do it alone. At Cleft Con, families find something powerful—understanding, connection, and a community that truly gets it. A space where stories are shared, support is felt, and every journey is seen. If this is your journey, there’s a place for you here.

A mother’s strength often shows up in the quiet moments no one sees. It’s in the long nights of feeding challenges, the early mornings filled with questions, and the unwavering determination to make sure her child gets the care they need—every step of the way. Across the world, mothers of children with cleft lip and palate navigate a journey that asks so much of them. And still, they show up with resilience, courage, and love that never wavers. At Smile Train, we are endlessly grateful for these mothers—your strength shapes every smile, your advocacy opens doors to care, and your love carries your children through every milestone. Today and every day, we see you. We thank you. And we stand beside you. #MothersDay #CleftCare #SmileTrain #cleftlip #cleftpalate
