Orthopedic treatment of palatal expander and dental orthodontic facemask. Case of unilateral cleft lip and palate
Journal Title: Revista Eugenio Espejo - Year 2023, Vol 17, Issue 3
Abstract
A clinical case is presented of a 12-year-old male patient diagnosed with unilateral non-syndromic cleft lip, palate, class III malocclusion, -5 mm overjet, and bilateral posterior crossbite, who received orthopedic treatment using a palatal expander and dental orthodontic facemask. After seven months of therapy, a favorable evolution was obtained regarding maxillary protrusion and a 0 mm overjet. The result of the treatment could have been affected due to the patient's age, who was in the pubertal growth stage.
