    Abstract:
    This article is an overview of the treatment possibilities and the role of the orthodontist in the management of patients with cleft palate. Orthodontic intervention and treatment may be indicated soon after birth (infant orthopedics), in the deciduous, mixed, and permanent dentitions and also in the adult patient. This article focuses primarily on decision-making and procedural steps performed by the orthodontist during the permanent dentition stage. The need for coordinated interaction with other team members is emphasized.
