Results and their discussion. The results of the study showed that, based on a set of studies, comparative 
analyses of the condition and improvement of the life status of infants with congenital cleft lips and palate 
using temporary silicone nipples and plates were conducted for the first time. For the first time, a 
comparative analysis of the parameters of the upper dental alveolar arch in newborns in the period before 
and after the use of the proposed obturator, its effect on the growth and development of the alveolar 
process, was carried out. In group 1 of infants, an improvement in the life status of children with 
congenital cleft lips and palate was determined with the help of temporary silicone nipples and plates, the 
normal state of bite in children with congenital cleft lips and palate was determined depending on age, 
and speech defects in children with congenital cleft lips and palate improved with the help of temporary 
silicone plates (obturators) than in the 2nd group of children with VRGN (the control group has the same 
indicators over time. 
Conclusion. Thus, the study showed that on the basis of a set of studies, for the first time, a comparative 
analysis of the condition and improvement of the life status of children with congenital cleft lips and 
palate using temporary silicone nipples and plates was carried out, a positive effect was proved. For the 
first time, a comparative analysis of the parameters of the upper dental alveolar arch in newborns in the 
period before and after the use of the proposed obturator, its effect on the growth and development of the 
alveolar process, was carried out. The studied changes and their systematization lead to a decrease in 
maxillofacial pathologies, as well as growth and development, which contributes to the non-hormonal 
development of the child. The introduction of the obtained data into practical healthcare will reduce the 
proportion of maxillofacial anomalies. For the first time, the method of using early orthodontic treatment 
of children with VGN, carried out with the help of a "dental obturator for orthodontic treatment of 
children with VGN" has been scientifically substantiated.
