An innovative noninvasive active intraoral Fixed Pre-Surgical Cleft Orthopedic (FPSCO) appliance is presented that has enabled to successfully reposition the premaxillary segment to a more favorable position prior to the surgical repair in 4 BCL\/P patients, who reported late for treatment with a mean age of 18 \u00b1 3 months. All the patients had at least 1 deciduous tooth erupted in 3 cleft segments, 1 premaxilla (PM), and 2 lateral maxillary (LM) segments. This innovative approach is a noninvasive method of getting the cleft segments closer prior to chelioplasty, where conventional presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) is not possible, which needs to be done early in life as it requires circulating maternal estrogen levels to achieve results preferably possible in patients younger than 3 to 6 months. Bonding to erupted teeth with glass ionomer cement was implemented to secure the appliance. Nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) closed-coil springs were used that delivered continuous forces of 150 g\/5 oz per side to retract the premaxillary segment. The mean active period of treatment time was 3.5 \u00b1 1.6 months and the retention period was 1.2 \u00b1 0.6 months, following which cheiloplasty was performed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1055665617732783","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,24]],"date-time":"2018-01-24T09:57:51Z","timestamp":1516787871000},"page":"622-625","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["An Intraoral Appliance to Retract the Protrusive Premaxilla in Bilateral Cleft Lip Patients Presenting Late for Primary Lip Repair"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Nandagopal","family":"Vura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Mamata Dental College, Khammam, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rajasekhar","family":"Gaddipati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Mamata Dental College, Khammam, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yudhistar","family":"Palla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Malla Reddy Institute of Dental Sciences, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pranay","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Mamata Dental College, Khammam, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1010-5182(05)80091-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1597\/1545-1569_1996_033_0497_iamtrt_2.3.co_2"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-198901000-00007"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0094-1298(03)00140-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0094-1298(20)32380-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjps.2014.12.022"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0007-1226(73)80028-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_1","unstructured":"Lee C Grayson B Cutting C.
