Abstract
Cleft lip and cleft palate are major public health problems that should receive a comprehensive treatment (Freitas et al. 2012). These defects arise on intrauterine development of the face and may have long-standing implications on dental arch morphology and impair facial growth as well. Cleft correction itself may also harm facial growth potential, even if performed properly (Mølsted et al. 2005). Anatomical and physiological cleft-related problems can have implications on speech, eating, and aesthetic, sometimes leading to deep psychological consequences. Proper dental care from birth to adulthood is necessary to overcome these conditions while avoiding further harm. In this setting, the orthodontist plays an important role in the prevention, correction, and reduction of the consequences of cleft lip and cleft palate (Long et al. 2000).
