    Abstract:
    DESIGN AND OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to present our philosophy in managing the prominent premaxilla in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate. Indications, contraindications, and the pre- and postoperative orthodontic role are defined. SETTING: Tertiary care, cleft palate and craniofacial center-academic institution. PATIENTS: Under review were four cases of bilateral cleft lip and palate presenting with prominent premaxilla and operated on by a single surgeon between 1996 and 2004. CONCLUSION: With appropriate patient selection, bilateral alveolar bone grafting with premaxillary repositioning is a safe procedure and can produce good aesthetic and functional results.
