Patients with cleft anomalies require extensive and prolonged treatment from birth to adulthood. These patients are subject to the scrutiny of many health disciplines during this comprehensive rehabilitation process. The orthodontist, who is intimately involved from the beginning, must achieve tooth alignment, arch symmetry, and establish a suitable functional occlusion that will provide allied disciplines with the appropriate foundation to optimize their treatment objectives. Each completed treatment phase should be sequential in manner, so as to facilitate and expedite the treatment goals of the other team member. To ensure the continuity of treatment and to satisfy the aesthetic, functional, and socio/psychologic requirements of each case, treatment must be coordinated and closely monitored by periodic team evaluations.
患有腭裂畸形的患者从出生到成年都需要广泛而长期的治疗。在这个全面的康复过程中，这些患者会受到许多健康学科的仔细检查。从一开始就密切参与的正畸医生必须实现牙齿排列整齐、牙弓对称，并建立合适的功能性咬合，为相关学科提供适当的基础，以优化他们的治疗目标。每个完成的治疗阶段都应该按顺序进行，以便促进和加快其他团队成员的治疗目标。为确保治疗的连续性，并满足每个病例的美学、功能以及社会/心理需求，必须通过定期的团队评估来协调和密切监测治疗。
