Brief Summary:
Evaluate the treatment outcome of Alternate Rapid Maxillary Expansion and Constriction Alt-RAMEC protocol on patients with cleft lip and palate, using a differential opening expander and face mask which will be measured and recorded by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Detailed Description:
Cleft lip and palate are among the most common deformities in children.Clefts patient are usually having orofacial problems as missing or unerupted permanent teeth, alveolar bone defect, speech difficulty . Patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) commonly have maxillary arch constriction (maxillary hypoplasia) and Class III malocclusions due to deficient of maxillary growth The upper jaw of patients with cleft palate will be expanded by Maxillary Expander with Differential Opening (EDO) with alternate rapid maxillary expansion and constriction (Alt-RAMEC) , which is opened by opening the expansion device by 1 mm per day for a week, then closing the device at a rate of 1 mm per day in the second week and so on alternately for 7 consecutive weeks after the completion of the expansion, the facemask device will be used to protraction of maxilla the measurement and difference before and after treatment will be assessment by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). .
