During the development of a baby, a cleft palate may form if the maxillary/maxillae bones fail to meet along the midline of the hard palate. It is the bone forming the midface which it forms the inferior orbital margin and contains the teeth and maxillary sinus. The palatine process the shelf of the bone that projects horizontally to meet at the midline in the intermaxillary suture which that is paired or connect together. They form the roof of the oral cavity or the hard palate and the floor of the nasal cavity and the incisive foramen opening in the midline, posterior to the maxillae incisor teeth which transmits to the terminal branches of both nasopalatine & sphenopalatine. It marks the point of the union during the development of the primary and secondary palate.
