Facial and Palatal Growth

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cleft Lip and Palate

Abstract

It is not the author’s intent to write a definitive treatise on facial growth and its control processes because there are better sources for such information. However, because the history of cleft palate treatment has been influenced by what clinicians think is the correct facial growth process, it behooves the author to support or refute the various facial–palatal growth concepts based on his own clinical findings.
