“…Patients with Crouzon syndrome present complex abnormalities, which require early clinical management of multidisciplinary teams. These teams should consist of craniofacial surgeons, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons, ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgeons,, orthodontists, dentists, dental technicians, speech pathologists, psychologists, ophthalmologists, nurses, speech-language pathologists, anesthesiologists, geneticists, pediatricians and radiologists 41,42 .…”

Summary Crouzon syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance. The underlying pathological process is premature synostosis of the cranial sutures with subsequent phenotypic alterations of the affected person. A review of the literature has been conducted in order to resume the overall characteristics of Crouzon syndrome such as craniomaxillofacial malformations, clinical features, dentoalveolar characteristics, aesthetic impairments, and psychological background, as well as, the different therapeutic procedures, which combine surgical and orthodontic interventions. Facial and functional malformations in individuals with Crouzon syndrome could be significantly improved after a series of surgical and orthodontic procedures in almost all cases. A multidisciplinary treatment approach would provide the best outcomes in affected patients.

This review article presents an overview of craniofacial malformations and the role of the orthodontist in their management. The first part of this article focuses on cleft lip and palate, followed by more complex deformities including craniosynostosis and craniofacial microsomia. The main features of these anomalies are discussed as well as the clinical problems seen in this group of patients. The emphasis is on the role of the orthodontist in the multi-disciplinary management of these cases.

Background: Patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) often present with macroglossia and aberrant dentoskeletal features, which may increase the prevalence of malocclusion and complicate conventional orthodontic management (OM). The aim was to comprehensively review the available literature regarding the OM of patients with BWS. Materials and Methods: Indexed databases were searched until February 2023. Clinical studies that addressed the dentoskeletal manifestations and OM of patients with BWS were included. A literature search was performed in accordance with the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. Results: Notably, 8 out of 2,664 initially-identified studies were included. Six of the studies were case reports/case series and two were retrospective clinical studies. A total of 35 patients with BWS who received orthodontic treatment (OT) were included. Common dentoskeletal and soft tissue traits included the presence of macroglossia, obtuse gonial angle, and anterior open bite. Some form of maxillary transverse discrepancy was found in nine patients. The OT modalities that were utilized included extraoral appliances, functional appliances, removable appliances, interarch elastics, and fixed appliances. The outcome of the OT was reported as successful in five studies. The follow-up, as reported by three studies, ranged from 8 months to 6 years, and the results of the OT were maintained. Adjunct interdisciplinary therapeutic procedures included glossectomy, oral physiotherapy, and orthognathic surgery. Conclusions: Based upon limited available evidence, OT in conjunction with tongue reduction surgery and/or myofunctional therapy can be successfully performed in children with BWS to manage various dentoskeletal discrepancies.
