The article presents an analysis of the results of the orthodontic stage of medical rehabilitation of patients with the consequences of congenital unilateral clefts in the upper lip and palate. The material for the study was the results of hardware orthodontic treatment of 74 patients (26 boys and 48 girls) with a diagnosis of congenital unilateral cleft of the upper lip and palate. We analyzed 294 diagnostic models, 224 orthopantomograms of patients of two groups. The first group included 51 patients who underwent instrument lengthening and (or) expansion of the dentition of the upper jaw according to a traditional technique. Patients of the second group (23 patients) were treated with new methods proposed by us. It was established that the developed methods of lengthening and expanding the dentition of the upper jaw significantly increase the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment of patients, which was manifested in a reduction in the duration of active hardware treatment and a decrease in the number of complications.
