Located at the junction of the zygomatic and maxillary bones, the ZMS undergoes significant changes during growth, affecting midfacial morphology and stability. Understanding ZMS maturation is essential for optimizing orthodontic interventions, especially in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP), who often exhibit altered craniofacial growth patterns due to congenital deformities and surgical interventions.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a reliable tool most commonly used for assessing macular morphology and provides quantitative information on the macula. OCT also examines the outer retinal layers, which can predict visual outcomes.
