Surgery allowed for the closure of the alveolar cleft. FMO made it possible to close the anterior and the posterior clefts through the growth of the maxillary segments, increased the transverse growth of the maxilla and could prevent maxillary collapse. Each team must individually evaluate whether to indicate or not the use of preoperative orthopedics.
