The nasoalveolarmolding (NAM) technique is a relatively new approach to pre-surgical infant orthopedics that reduces the severity of the initial cleft alveolar and nasal deformity before surgery. This technique has proved to be an effective adjunctive therapy for reducing cleft deformity before surgery. Data on NAM are inconsistent with changes in nasal symmetry. However, there is a trend towards a positive effect. Therefore, it is of interest to report clinicians an overview of NAM appliance and method for nasal symmetry assessment to facilitate greater usage of this technique in contemporary practice. Thus, the biomechanics of pre-surgical infant orthopedics and of nasal stent that skillfully shape alveolus and nasal cartilage is explained.
鼻牙槽塑形（NAM）技术是一种相对较新的术前婴儿整形外科方法，可在手术前减轻初始牙槽嵴裂和鼻畸形的严重程度。该技术已被证明是一种有效的术前减少腭裂畸形的辅助治疗方法。关于NAM的数据与鼻对称性的变化不一致。然而，有积极影响的趋势。因此，向临床医生报告NAM矫治器和鼻对称性评估方法的概述，以促进该技术在当代实践中的更多应用是很有意义的。因此，本文解释了术前婴儿整形外科以及巧妙塑造牙槽和鼻软骨的鼻支架的生物力学原理。
