“…The surgical procedures used for correction of maxillary deficiency in cleft patient include maxillary osteotomy, bone grafting and stabilization with rigid fixation 1,5,8,9 . However, the dense scar tissue present in most cleft palate patients may account for some relapse after orthognathic surgery 1,5,9 .…”

The willingness and ability of the patient to undergo treatment are undoubtedly important factors in achieving optimal treatment outcomes. The presented case report shows that limited compliance makes it much more difficult for speech pathologists and orthodontists to treat mentally retarded patients. Only with combined orthodontic therapy and orthognathic surgery could the dental and skeletal abnormalities be corrected in adulthood.

“…Traditional surgical approaches for correction of a midface deficiency in cleft patients include maxillary osteotomy, bone grafting and rigid internal fixation 15,1,17 . Bone grafts in the posterior gap between the maxillary tuberosity and the pterygoid plates in combination with miniplate fixation help to reduce relapse after orthognatic surgery 18,4 , but carry the potential risks of donor site morbidity, and resorption or infection of the bone graft 17,12 .…”
