Abstract

|
Cleft lip and palate is one of the most frequent craniofacial deformities impacting the patients' life from birth. Multidisciplinary treatments given by the team approach is necessary to resolve many problems. One of the treatments challenging to the team is orthopedic treatment for protracting maxilla during the period of growth. Conventional way of maxillary protraction is using facemask with intraoral appliaces such as bonded expander, labiolingual arch, and so on. Despite the efforts of the clinicians, it has been well known to have not so good prognosis for the orthopedic treatment. Recently, with the help of skeletal anchorage, better effectiveness and efficiency in maxillary protraction using facemask has been reported. Therefore, it is worth seeking its clinical applicability and prognosis through clincial cases and literature reviews especially for cleft lip and palate patients.
