Abstract
There are many factors to consider regarding the orthodontic treatment of an individual with cleft lip and palate in relation to the alveolar bone graft procedure. Some of these are: the sequence and timing of treatment, indications for pre-graft orthodontics, the appropriate appliances that should be used, and considerations in post-graft orthodontics. A review of some of the current concepts, management, and protocols are described.
