Abstract
This study suggests a trend toward morphological improvement in maxillary alveoli of infants with UCLP treated with CAD-NAM. The CAD-NAM effectively reduced the cleft gap, corrected the maxilla midline, and improved the sagittal length of the maxilla. The alveolar height decreased significantly after the treatment, which indicated that the traction force of the appliance may have obstructive effects on the vertical growth of the alveolar bone.
