“…In agreement with our study, Marcusson et al (20) have shown that women's ratings of their mouth and profile were significantly lower than those of men, suggesting that female patients, particularly adolescents, may have more psychosocial issues of and concerns about appearance and undergo more facial corrections as a result of social and internalized pressure (21) . In disagreement with our study, a study done by Chen et al (22) , found that apart from higher smile satisfaction in female patients than male patients, no association was found between satisfaction with facial appearance or quality of life and gender. Other studies have reported similar results (17) .…”

Background: Cleft lip is the second most common congenital anomaly (after club foot) accounting for about 13% of all congenital anomalies, and the overall incidence is 1 in 1000 live births. An individual with a disfigurement may be more prone to developing psychological problems. Patient and parent satisfaction is a key indicator of treatment quality. Objective: The purpose of this study was to improve satisfaction after repaired simple unilateral cleft lip by Millard's procedure. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective cohort study including 24 patients with unilateral cleft lip. The study was performed in the Pediatric Surgery Department, Zagazig University Hospitals. The study was performed in the period from September 2020 to May 2021. All patients were subjected to full history taking, general and local examinations and investigations; including complete blood count and coagulation profile tests. Results: There was statistically significant relation between severity of cleft lip and symmetry at the Cupid's bow p=0.043 and nasal symmetry p=0.002. It was obvious that incomplete cleft lip had hundred percent good result regarding symmetry at the Cupid's bow and nose while there was statistically insignificant relation between parents opinion about symmetry and severity of cleft lip p>0.05. Conclusions: Counseling the parents and thereby motivating them and educating them regarding the cleft and the various procedures by which the deformity can be tackled are one of the most important aspects of treatment.

The duration of the study was six months from Jan 2022 to June 2022. Material and Methods: The 210 patients that visited orthodontic department of the hospital were selected for analysis. Among those 210 patients, there were 170 females and 40 males. The participants were fully aware of the study and written consent was taken from the patients. The satisfaction level was analyzed. It was observed that there were 16% participants that were unsatisfied. There were 176 patients that were satisfied with the orthodontic treatment they were given. There was no significant co-relation found between people of different age groups (p=0.5). The study was carried out to find features like ethics, behavior and the degree of orthodontist that did the treatment. The comparisons of groups with the orthodontic treatment was carried out and the satisfaction of the patients post-treatment. Results: It was observed that 16% participants were unsatisfied it included 7 males and 27 females. Among the 210 patients that participated there were 176 patients that were satisfied with the orthodontic treatment they were given.

And there were 30% patients that felt problems. There were many problems described by the patients.

“…Additionally, the current study included cleft patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, demonstrating that OHRQoL score remains similar between groups. In the literature, a positive effect after orthodontic treatment in healthy and CLP patients was reported [ 24 , 27 ]. Chen et al showed that completed orthodontic treatment had a positive effect on the quality of life, especially when orthodontic surgical treatment was performed [ 27 ].…”

(1) Background: It has been recognized that CLP condition may affect oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) due to dental anomalies and abnormal craniofacial development. Aim: To assess whether orthodontic treatment affected the levels of OHRQoL in CLP patients and their families. (2) Methods: 226 individuals (111 with cleft and 115 control) and their parents were invited to complete the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and Family Impact Scale (FIS), respectively. The Mann–Whitney test was used for quantitative variables and the Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables. The Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient was used to correlate the results of the OHIP and FIS questionnaires. (3) Results: No significant difference was found between groups in OHIP-14 but FIS score revealed a significant difference between the two groups evaluated (p < 0.001). Only the social limitation in OHIP score revealed a significant difference (p = 0.001). Regarding FIS score, the most affected dimensions were family activities (p < 0.001), parental emotions (p = 0.001), and family conflict (p = 0.011). (4) Conclusion: Undergoing orthodontic treatment had a similar impact on the overall quality of life in CLP patients and non-cleft patients. Parents of cleft children had a poorer OHRQoL compared to what was perceived by their children and parents of non-cleft children.
