Responding teams were university-based (47%), hospital-based (42.4%), and independent clinics (10.6%). Orthodontic treatment for most patients was in private practice (53%). On-site 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) dental imaging capabilities were reported by 42% of teams; 29% have no on-site imaging. One or more barrier(s) to acquiring imaging were reported by 67%, with insurance challenges reported by 47%. Most teams bill medical payors for cleft-related dental imaging (58%). Pre- and post-ABG imaging was most frequently 3D (35% and 36%, respectively). Surgeons and orthodontists commonly evaluate ABG timing and outcome together (53%-65%). Periapical radiographs were included significantly more often in cleft imaging protocols by orthodontists with versus without fellowship training ( P\u2009=\u2009.011, P\u2009=\u2009.04).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Barriers to acquiring imaging are frequent. 3D is the most common imaging pre- and post-ABG.
