*6.3.1 Standard Le fort I osteotomy*

Patients in cases of BCLP may have intact alveolar ridges on both sides, one intact alveolar ridge on only one side or alveolar clefts that have been successfully grafted during mixed dentition. In adolescents or adults with maxillomandibular deformity and intact alveolar ridges on both sides, a standard Le Fort I downfracturing technique performs to advance maxillary hypoplasia.
