(1) The etiology of cleft palate is not clear yet but it may have some hereditary, genetic factors, or gene-environment interaction. (2) Unilateral clefts are nine times as common as bilateral clefts, and occur twice as frequently on the left than the right. The ratio of left:right:bilateral clefts are 6:3:1. Males are predominantly affected by cleft lip with or without cleft palate (M: F-2:1) whereas females are more commonly affected by isolated cleft palate. (3) The complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP) deformity is characterized by a combined maxillary and nasolabial deformity. The maxillary deformity is represented with a wide cleft gap, malaligned rotated maxillary segments, protruded and laterally displaced greater segment and collapsed lesser segment. While the nasolabial deformity is represented as; widely separated lip segments, concave ala at the cleft side of the nose, wide nostril base, deviated short columella, depressed nasal dome, and deviated nasal septum to the noncleft side with a shift of the nasal base. (4) Since, the basic aim of treatment in cleft patients is to restore normal anatomy and function, the management of cleft patients is a multidisciplinary approach. A team of experienced pedodontists, prosthodontists, maxillofacial and plastic surgeons, orthodontists, psychologist and speech therapist are necessary for the proper cleft individual management since birth to adulthood.

Methods: The study was designed as a prospective 2-arm randomized controlled clinical trial conducted in parallel. Forty infants with nonsyndromic UCLP were randomly assigned into a NAM-treated group (n = 20) and non–NAM treated group (n = 20). A total of 120 laser-scanned maxillary casts were collected and blindly analyzed via a modified algorithm at T0 (initial visit; baseline), T1 (after 3 wk; first interval), and T2 (after 6 wk; second interval). The main outcome measures were the amount and rate of cleft gap changes, the midline position, and the transverse, sagittal, and vertical growth through intervals. Results: More than 50% of the cleft gap (56.42%; P < 0.001) was reduced in the first 3 wk of alveolar molding (AM). The end point of the AM was obtained in 6 wk (86.25%; P < 0.001); then, th...
