The cleft lip and palate cases are the most frequently seen congenital deformities. Retardation of the maxillary development and collapse are the most significant characteristics in these cases. It is aimed to correct the functions like mastication, deglutition and speech which were disturbed due to anatomic deficiency and to obtain an acceptable occlusion and esthetics, by means of the therapy. As much as the preoperative orthopedic procedures applied just after the birth, the orthopedic and orthodontic appliances used in mixed and permanent dentition periods affect the prognosis in these cases. The purpose of the treatment in permanent dentition is to correct the malocclusion and to prepare the dentition to prosthetic restorations. In this article the orthodontic treatment of a case in permanent dentition, with cleft palate and lip characterized with severe maxillary collapse will be presented.
唇腭裂病例是最常见的先天性畸形。上颌发育迟缓及塌陷是这些病例最显著的特征。治疗旨在通过治疗纠正因解剖缺陷而受影响的咀嚼、吞咽和言语等功能，并获得可接受的咬合及美观效果。出生后即刻进行的术前矫形程序，以及混合牙列期和恒牙列期使用的矫形及正畸矫治器，对这些病例的预后均有影响。恒牙列期治疗的目的是纠正错牙合畸形，并为义齿修复准备牙列。本文将介绍一例恒牙列期、伴有严重上颌塌陷的唇腭裂病例的正畸治疗。
