The purpose of this study is to use computers to simulate airflow in 3D construction of your nasal cavity generated from cone beam CT images. The results from computer simulations will help researchers identify the severity of cleft-induced nasal dysfunction and assess the impact of current treatment in restoring breathing function. The ultimate goal is to improve post-surgery outcomes to restore nasal breathing function to normal levels.
