Orthodontic Care Delivery Across ACPA Teams in the US

Variation in care delivery models and regional access highlights structural gaps in interdisciplinary cleft care. Standardizing orthodontic integration and increasing fellowship training may improve the consistency and equity of craniofacial care nationwide.
