[Primary and secondary care of cleft lip and palate in the lip-palate center in Bruxelles].

Since 1987, we chose a neonatal repair of the cleft lip and nose and closure of the cleft palate at 3 months of age. Ventilation tubes are systematically inserted in the drums at time of palatoplasty. Alveolar clefts are grafted when canine erupts. Secondary correction, which might be early, are scheduled according to functional, aesthetic or psychological demands. A interdisciplinary follow-up by a stable and united team is essential for an adequate management of sequels.

[Indications for orthognathic surgery, the limitations of orthodontics and of surgery].

The different sagittal, vertical or transversal skeletal dysmorphosis can be treated with orthodontic or orthopaedic appliances. Certain limits of treatment will be due to the age of the patient, the importance of the skeletal dysmorphosis, technical limits of the orthodontic appliances or the motivation and compliance needed from the patient. For this reason an orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery may be indicated. Nevertheless the combined orthodontic-surgical treatment has also its limitations and specific treatment needs from orthodontist and maxillo-facial surgeon.

[Pre- and post-surgical orthodontic objectives and orthodontic preparation].

Orthodontics in combination with orthognathic surgery is a possibility today for correcting sagittal, vertical and transversal dysmorphosis. To do this, orthodontic preparation before surgery is necessary. In the sagittal plane, dental compensations should be removed. In the vertical plane, levelling of a severe mandibular SPEE curve should be accomplished postsurgically, and transverse coordination obtained. Orthodontic preparation is very specific to the type of dysmorphosis: class II malocclusion, class III malocclusion or in open bite. Postsurgical orthodontic treatment is used to finalize tooth alignment as in conventional orthodontics.

[Extraction in orthodontics: when and why?].

During the last century orthodontic treatment philosophies changed continuously. The necessity to extract teeth in order to correct a lack of space has many times been the subject of discussion. In fact there exists several techniques which make it possible to avoid extractions in many cases. A number of criteria which influence the decision to extract or not, as well as some techniques to regain space in upper and lower arch are discussed.
