In orthodontic treatment, patients with cleft lip and/or palate have the following difficulties as compared with non-cleft patients. 1. Anterior and posterior cross-bite due to collapse of the maxillary arch. 2. Poor growth of the maxilla. 3. Strain of the upper lip after surgical treatment. 4. Congenitally missing teeth, supernumerary teeth and transversion, etc.. Therefore, we examined two cases with unilateral cleft lip and palate and one case with bilateral cleft lip and palate who received orthodontic treatment at Kyushu Dental College Hospital. In all cases edgewise technique was used at final step of orthodontic treatment. These cases needed the lateral and antero-posterior expansion of the maxillary arch, the aesthetic and functional recovery by restoration for missing teeth, the permanent fixation against relapse or the secondary plastic surgery of the upper lip and nose.
