Sequencing and timing of treatment in the correction of dentofacial deformities in adult patients with clefts
LM Wolford
and
BN Epker
During the past six years, 107 patients with various dentofacial deformities secondary to primary clefts were treated in the cleft palate clinic. An overall treatment plan was formulated before any definitive secondary treatment was started. The sequencing and timing of the various aspects of secondary treatment were established to provide optimum esthetic, functional, and psychologic results.
