N2 - Reconstruction of a partially dentate skeletal Class III patient who has had repair of a bilateral cleft lip and palate can be challenging. In this article we present our results with a segmental maxillary distraction to esthetically restore the support of the upper lip and functionally reconstruct the anterior maxillary dentition with implants. Prosthetic considerations were critical to determine the vector of distraction to achieve ideal results.
