Specifically, between the fourth and seventeenth weeks of embryonic development, the closure mechanisms for the facial and oral cavity fail. As a cleft child grows to adult through adolescence he comes across many people and situations which can make him psychologically weak or strong. Hence the psychological factors associated with cleft lip and palate is very much concerned with each parent.
