A baby born with a cleft palate can smile properly for the first time after undergoing life-changing surgery to rebuild his mouth. Little six-month-old Cam Martin looks unrecognisable after a plastic surgeon spent five hours fixing his top lip and gum. Cam was born two minutes after his twin brother Jack on April 3 to parents Matt and Sara Martin. But unlike his sibling, Cam had a cleft palate, meaning his upper lip, the bones of his upper jaw and his gum, were split.
