  • Title: Orthognathic surgery in the cleft lip and palate patient.
    Author: Herber SC, Lehman JA.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 1993 Oct; 20(4):755-68. PubMed ID: 8275638.
    Abstract:
    Orthognathic surgery for the cleft lip and palate patient should be designed to achieve good facial aesthetics and a stable, functional occlusion. Maxillary and mandibular osteotomies, which benefit cleft lip and palate patients with associated dentofacial deformities, should be modified to meet the needs of the individual patient. Soft-tissue correction of the upper lip and nose adds to the overall aesthetic result, but should be performed as a separate procedure.
