Overview
Orofacial clefts are the second most common birth defects in children. Cleft lip and palate constitute a significant public health issue because of their potential for lifelong morbidity, intricate etiology, and the substantial multidisciplinary efforts required for effective intervention. Cleft lip and palate patients are born with a challenging deformity that requires multiple surgical interventions and orthodontic treatment in order to reach functional and aesthetic harmony. The cleft and craniofacial team comprises professionals from twelve different specialties. The book offers valuable insights into the etiology, diagnosis, and common anomalies associated with orofacial clefts. Additionally, it details the role of each specialty within the team, with a particular emphasis on the orthodontist's contributions.
