---|---|---|
Cleft Lip and Palate Bilateral Cleft Lip/Palate | Device: Presurgical vacuum formed nasoalveolar molding aligners Device: Conventional Grayson acrylic formed nasoalveolar molding appliances | Not Applicable |
The aim of this trial is to evaluate and compare the short-term effect of VF (NAM) aligners with conventional Grayson appliances at 2 stages T1 (Before NAM therapy), and T2 (After NAM therapy) as regards maxillary arch changes.
Newborns with Bilateral cleft lip/ palate will be allocated randomly into two groups: the first group will receive presurgical vacuum-formed nasoalveolar molding aligners while the second group will receive conventional Grayson acrylic formed nasoalveolar molding appliances. The follow-up period will be 4-6 months till surgical lip closure. The changes in the maxillary arch will be assessed by digital maxillary models.

Experimental: Presurgical vacuum formed nasoalveolar molding aligners group
In this group, all patients will receive 1-2 VF-NAM aligners incorporated with palatal screw in addition to taping from day 1 for 4-6 Months with follow-up every 3 weeks
|
Device: Presurgical vacuum formed nasoalveolar molding aligners
at first visit, the infants will receive this appliance which is a maxillary vacuum plate incorporated with palatal screw, the infant's parents will be instructed to activate the screw and apply horizontal tap which will be placed at the base of nose in order to approximate lip segments and to change tape daily. After that, The infants will be recalled one week after the first visit to add the nasal stents into the appliance.
|
Experimental: conventional Grayson acrylic formed nasoalveolar molding appliances group
This group will receive conventional Grayson acrylic formed nasoalveolar molding appliances without taping except some cases, with follow up every week for activation.
|
Device: Conventional Grayson acrylic formed nasoalveolar molding appliances
at first visit, the infants will receive this appliance which is a maxillary acrylic plate without adding taping, the infants will be recalled bi weekly for activating the appliance. When the cleft alveolar gap is reduced to 6mm or less, a pair of nasal stents will be added to mold the nasal cartilage. the infants will be followed up for 4-6 months. |
