Treatment of an open-bite malocclusion complicated by clefts of the maxilla and mandible. 1976

E C Lubit

This is a case presentation of a young girl with a severe Class II, Division I open-bite malocclusion. Her orthodontic problems were further complicated by clefts in both her maxilla and mandible. A cleft palate team evaluation brought several systemic and local problems to light which necessitated their correction prior to the commencement of any orthodontic therapy. Her diagnosis and treatment have been discussed here with special emphasis on the problems peculiar to children with oral clefts.
