Popis: | A patient with a repaired cleft of lip and/or palate (CLP) may develop dentofacial disproportion, classically a Class III skeletal and inter-arch relationship, due to an underlying maxillary hypoplasia. The definitive correction of the dental and facial aesthetic and functional problems associated with this anomaly requires a multidisciplinary input involving orthodontists, surgeons, speech therapists and psychologists. A successful outcome is dependent on a close working relationship between these disciplines and a planned care pathway that is adapted to patient needs. This paper outlines such a care pathway. Clinical Relevance: This paper offers the clinician an understanding of a multidisciplinary approach to the orthognathic management of a patient with cleft lip and palate. |
