Cleft lip and palate is a congenital craniofacial anomaly that affects the lip and oral cavity. The management and orthodontic treatment of this anomaly is important but challenging. This article reports the successful treatment of a patient with bilateral cleft lip and palate, Class III malocclusion, bilateral crossbite, crowding and microdontic maxillary lateral incisors. One mandible incisor was extracted, and three miniscrew anchorages were utilized to distalize the maxillary left dental arch and retract the mandibular arch. After treatment, ideal occlusion and a better profile were established, and long-term stability was confirmed by a 4-year follow-up. This article represents a successful attempt of orthodontic camouflage treatment of severe dentofacial discrepancy, as an important part of the series treatment of cleft lip and palate, to provide some insight into the clinical field.
唇腭裂是一种先天性颅面畸形，影响唇和口腔。这种异常的管理和正畸治疗很重要，但具有挑战性。本文报告了一例双侧唇腭裂、III 类错颌、双侧反颌、拥挤和上颌侧切牙小牙的成功治疗。一个下颌切牙被拔除，三个迷你螺钉种植体被用于远移上颌左侧牙弓和后缩下颌牙弓。治疗后，建立了理想的咬合和更好的侧貌，4 年的随访证实了长期的稳定性。本文代表了严重牙颌面畸形的正畸掩饰治疗的成功尝试，作为唇腭裂系列治疗的重要组成部分，为临床领域提供了一些见解。
