**7.2 Orthodontic approach**

The main purpose of orthodontic treatment before surgery in ICP patients is to eliminate all existing dental compensations. This is because, conducting camouflage treatment in these patients threatens periodontal health and may cause to relapse and resorption in teeth. Inclination and angulation of the maxillary and mandibular teeth, crowding, gaps, and rotations are organized throughout the orthodontic treatment process. The targets related to achieving ideal arch forms and ideal occlusion may be detailed after the operation. Extractions may be needed in the maxillary arch to eliminate dental compensations. In comparison to UCLP or BCLP patients, treatment is simpler in ICP patients due to the intact nature of the alveolar bone and because all teeth are usually present.
