Abstract
This report details the diagnosis, treatment alternatives, planning, and accomplishment
of orthodontic and surgical treatment of an adolescent with skeletal Angle Class III
with cleft lip and palate. The cleft was surgically minimized by advancement of the
posterior maxillary segment during combined orthognathic correction. The proposed
objectives of occlusion, normal function, and balanced profile were achieved, and
results were maintained stable 8 years post-treatment.
