Patients with UCLP demonstrated a significant lingual and distal inclination of cleft-adjacent U1 and a significant buccal and mesial inclination of cleft-adjacent U3. The buccolingual inclination of cleft-adjacent U1 tends to increase with increasing the alveolar cleft width; however, the correlation was weak.
