First, syllable position is highly correlated with the major segment class (consonant or vowel) of the segment following the alveolar stop.
Most surgeons repair the lip and often the alveolar area and front edge of the hard palate between 3 and 6 months.
Anteriorly the alveolar segments are approximated using elastic strapping from cheek to cheek across the upper lip.
Consonants are grouped into three major categories for ease of comparison with infants' vocalizations : labials, alveolars and velars.
In addition, the co-occurrence of alveolars and front vowels differed markedly between the infants' and caregivers' data.
Again, the phonetic data show that the alveolar closure may still be made but that it is hidden behind the closure for a following consonant.
Two types of alveolar bone loss are associated with such infections: horizontal and vertical bone loss.
The research has examined almost exclusively the deletion of alveolar stops /t d/, as illustrated by the two examples cited above.
