Oral health-related quality of life in young adults born with unilateral cleft lip and palate after interdisciplinary treatment: a cross-sectional study with controls
Young adults born with UCLP treated in an interdisciplinary team reported overall OHRQoL comparable to peers without a cleft and no history of orthodontic treatment. Their self-perceived orofacial appearance was similar to that of noncleft, nonorthodontically treated peers, but rated less favorable compared to noncleft peers who had received orthodontic treatment.
