Orthognathic Surgery for Achieving Facial Balance and Harmony in Cleft Patients

Cleft surgery requires an expert team performing ongoing treatment in order to achieve optimal outcomes. The senior author’s(KES) experiences of more than 2000 patients with cleft lip and palate treated by a surgical-orthodontic protocol were introduced. The paper here will concentrate on not only correcting the occlusion as others have described,but also on what one surgeon can do to achieve optimal aesthetic balance, harmony and beauty. The results of orthognathic surgery in respect to function, stability, cosmesis, and complications are also audited.
