Comparing the survey results of 224 Centers of Cleft Lip and Palate in the United States with the current status in China, and reviewing the experience and lessons systemically, we could get a conclusion that the repair of cleft lip and palate depends on the experience and excellent skills of the surgeons, and its important role in combined and sequential treatment (team approach) of cleft lip and palate should not be ignored. The team approach program requires multidisciplinary cooperation and good compliance of the patients. In order to improve the treatment outcomes of cleft lip and palate, it is necessary for us to study the advanced program and methods and combined the situation of our country.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the miniplate application sites in the maxilla and the applied force vector changes during skeletally supported facemask application in adolescent patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) using finite element model (FEM) analysis.

Methods: A FEM was obtained from a cone-beam computed tomography image of a 12-year-old female patient with UCLP. Miniplates were placed on 3 different sites of the maxilla; 500 g of advancement force was applied bilaterally, parallel (0°), and downward (-30°) to the occlusal plane.
