BITEsize Paediatrics

The Role of the Orthodontist in Cleft Lip & Palate Management


Listen Later

Welcome back for another episode of the BITEsize paediatrics podcast!


Today, we bring you the second half our two-part series on cleft lip and palate. This time, we are joined by Dr Bronkhorst - a specialist orthodontist based at the Manchester cleft lip and palate clinic.

In this episode, we cover the following questions:

- How does an orthodontist become part of the cleft team?
- When do cleft L/P patients first see the orthodontist?
- Why is ortho treatment required for alveolar bone graft surgery and orthognathic surgery?
- How can abnormal canine eruption be corrected with ortho?

This interview serves as great revision for dental students, and it should also be of interest to those who are looking to specialise in a field that concerns the management of cleft lip/palate.
