Maxillary Obturators

These services are covered for all patients that have a palatal or nasopharyngeal defect that impairs the person’s ability to swallow efficiently or speak clearly. Although surgery is preferred, it is not always feasible because of the person’s age, health complications or anatomical  causes.

The main goal of maxillary obturator (either temporary or permanent) is to close the gap in the palate or the nasopharynx to make swallowing and speaking possible.
