Bone and soft tissue palatal morphology and potential anchorage sides in cleft palate patients.

CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the favorable region for orthodontic MI placement is in the similar anatomical region compared to non-cleft patients, but differs from one side in each group. In unilateral cleft palate patients, the highest bone level was found on the anterior palate side opposite to the cleft side, indicating the most effective region for MIs placement.
