Macrostomia is a congenital anomaly characterized by an excessively wide oral commissure, resulting in speech difculties, compromised facial expressions, mastication challenges, oral incompetence, and aesthetic concerns. It is classied as Tessier's facial cleft no. 7. Surgical intervention is fundamental in the management of this condition. A retrospective analysis of patients' records was conducted to identify instances of Macrostomia at our medical facility. This case series is intended to present a compilation of cases, emphasizing their presentation, management strategies, and the subsequent functional outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach involving speech therapists is indispensable for the comprehensive care of affected individuals.
