Study on Cleft Orthognathic Surgery Shows Exceptional Occlusal and Cephalometric Improvements

Posted: December 1, 2024
The retrospective cohort study on cleft orthognathic surgery evaluated occlusal and cephalometric outcomes in individuals with orofacial clefts. The study demonstrated significant improvements in facial profiles and occlusion following combined orthodontic-orthognathic treatment. Surgical procedures including Le Fort 1 advancement and additional interventions led to a remarkable reduction in PAR scores and enhancement of skeletal profiles. These findings highlight the effectiveness of cleft orthognathic surgery in addressing maxillary retrusion and class III malocclusion, with outcomes comparable to non-cleft populations. The study underscores the importance of tailored surgical approaches in achieving favorable occlusal results for patients with cleft lip and palate.
