[–]carbonfe 60 points61 points ago

Looks like this kid was born with a cleft palette. My Mom was born with this condition. She had no roof to her mouth when she was born and she had teeth growing in just like this years after her multiple surgeries to correct the defect. The surgeon will use the tissues that are present to create the missing structures. Often times teeth get moved around during that process and you get this situation where teeth grow in the roof of your mouth.

My youngest son was born with a cleft lip. We saw the defect on our early ultrasounds but we didn't know how severe his defect was. When he was born and taken by the nurses to be weighed, I asked her to check his pallet for me. She stuck her finger in his mouth to feel and told me it was intact. I've never felt such relief in my life! I immediately started to cry because of the overwhelming emotions that swept over me.

My son was super lucky. His defect required one surgery. A child born like the one in the picture posted has probably had to endure multiple procedures as well as years of dental work, just to look normal.

If anyone is interested, I can post pics of my son before and after his surgery. It's truly amazing.

[–]iateyourbees 7 points8 points ago

I'd be interested in seeing those pics

[–]carbonfe 85 points86 points ago

Here are a few pics that I thought would show what the surgeon did for us. I'm still amazed at the outcome!

[–]B3rL3igh 51 points52 points ago

WOW! The surgeon did an amazing job! (And your son is absolutely adorable... ladykiller!)

[–]carbonfe 13 points14 points ago

Thanks! I like to think he takes after me :)

[–]ExpletiveInserted 12 points13 points ago

When I was 2, I pulled a hot iron off the ironing board by the cord on to my face. I had a 3rd degree burn on my fat little cheek and 2nd on my temple and neck. My parents took me to Duke for the surgery. After many operations the plastic surgeon charged my parents $25. He wouldn't accept any more money. Just told them to make sure I had a good life. That was 1963. He killed himself a few years later.

[–]Blondi93 1 point2 points ago

Wow... just wow.. that's inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time..

[–]IAmGoingToFuckThat 30 points31 points ago

Oh, wow, you can't even see a scar. You were lucky to have a good surgeon. :)

[–]one_true_exit 13 points14 points ago

Indeed! Excellent surgeon, excellent work.

[–]IAmGoingToFuckThat 8 points9 points ago

Your little boy is adorable too. :)

[–]carbonfe 9 points10 points ago

Thanks everyone! He's a wonderful little boy.

[–]iateyourbees 5 points6 points ago

wow, that's amazing... and he's just precious! I can't even see the scar in the second to last photo. Here's to medical technology!

[–]Petninja 5 points6 points ago

I really like how he's slowly turning into Darth Vader.

[–]THEREFOREiEXIST 2 points3 points ago

Note the hardware on his face, and the restraints on his arms to keep him from pulling out his stiches.

So did he feel pain after this operation?

[–]carbonfe 6 points7 points ago

Yes, he did experience pain. It was a struggle everyday with feeding and keeping him comfortable. It's heartbreaking to see your baby go through something like that and really not being able to do anything but try to comfort them.

[–]rvd1020 3 points4 points ago

[–]Jagjamin 1 point2 points ago

Gosh, you can't even see the scar, sually it's slightly visible. Expect his moustache to look a bit silly when he gets one.

[–]carbonfe 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I wonder about this too. He will have to have some dental work when he becomes a teenager.

[–]pluffmudpie 1 point2 points ago

Wow, what a great outcome! Out of curiosity, do you remember whether it was an oral surgeon, plastic surgeon, or what?

[–]carbonfe 8 points9 points ago

The doctor we went to was a pediatric plastic surgeon. He specialized in birth defects.

The day we went to see him the first time he picked up my boy, looked at him about 15 seconds and said "This will take an hour to fix".

[–]iShavedMyFaceForThis 3 points4 points ago

From someone who is adopting a two year old with a cleft palette, thank you for sharing. Those photos too. You have a very handsome boy.

[–]carbonfe 0 points1 point ago

Thank you! I wish you the very best with your adoption. Modern medicine is truly amazing and I'm sure you'll be giving this child the love he or she needs and will need moving forward. Thanks for all you do!

[–]aidaw 0 points1 point ago

WOW it looks amazing... can't even tell in the last couple of pics... and I must agree with the other redditors, your son is very handsome :)

Right? Deformities mess me up. I can watch a guy get his head cut off, but this shit fucks me up whenever I see it.

[–]LittleInfidel 2 points3 points ago

We actually went over this in an art class. Turns out your brain is hyper focused on all the details of the face. When there are minor differences ( sometimes ones we're not even sure we can identify, like slightly-too-far-apart eyes) it makes us extremely uncomfortable. Your brain will zero in on the abnormality. This is also why something like the uncanny valley is a thing.

Real scientist might have a better explanation though :3

It's called Hyperdontia. It gets a lot worse than that.

[–]jaxxyland 1 point2 points ago

Shopped or not, could you imagine a toothache with that problem?

[–]initial-friend 1 point2 points ago

How do you even fix something like that? :/

[–]17Hongo 0 points1 point ago

To my knowledge you cannot. There is nothing that can be done - in really bad cases, where the entire roof of the mouth is nothing but teeth, it is impossible to clean between the teeth, and results in very unhealthy dentistry, not to mention a vastly increased risk of mouth infections and painful cavities.

[–]MachineBlaze 25 points26 points ago

Looks like it's maggots

[–]Sheriff_Woodie 17 points18 points ago

In some places, they'll put colonies of maggots in canker sore areas of the mouth. The maggots eat the rotting flesh. The pic is what happens when the colony gets out of control.

Source: I've seen this pic before with explanation.

[–]chr0no 7 points8 points ago

[–]Sheriff_Woodie 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, that's the one! I suppose I may have been a tad off on my info, but I was going from memory.

This child does not have a cleft pallet, it's a birth defect where the child is born with absorbed tissue from an twin resulting in double palate. They can also manifest in other areas of the body. Abusing limbs sticking out of the body or clumps of hair, teeth and tissue in large tumor-like growths. Trust me I'm a medical professional
