Description
Panjun Pu and co-authors pool studies on a jaw-lengthening operation for patients with cleft lip and palate, in this 2024 meta-analysis. The birth defect often leaves the upper jaw short, harming bite and face shape. The operation cuts the front segment of the upper jaw and eases it forward over weeks. Ten controlled studies met the bar.
The jaw grew clearly longer, key angles and distances rose, and upper teeth tipped forward into better overlap. Lip and nose soft tissue improved too, while the lower jaw stayed put. Most studies carried middling bias risk, the authors note.
