A randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of newly designed active type of presurgical orthopedic appliances on maxillary arch dimensions in infants with bilateral cleft lip and palate.
It is a multicenter randomized clinical trial with two parallel arms. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups, group one: a passive orthopedic appliance will be used, and group two a new designed active orthopedic appliance will be used. Impressions will be taken before starting the treatment (T1) and at the end of treatment (T2) three months later. The effectiveness of the two appliances will be assessed and measured on digital models of the maxillary arch before and after the treatment.

| Arch dimension (experimental group and control group) | Evaluation of the efficiency of a newly designed presurgical infant orthopedic for bilateral cleft lip and palate patients by measuring the maxillary arch dimension at the beginning and end of treatment in both experimental and control group. | T1 before starting any treatment and T2 After treatment before surgical repair (average 3 months) |

| Parents Perception and experience | The perception and experience of parents of children with cleft lip and palate concerning the use presurgical infant orthopedics using a questionnaire-based cross sectional survey. The assessment of mothers' perception and experience regarding PSIO will be executed using 16 validated preformed questions. The onset of the sign of the positive correction of the cleft segments will be recorded accordingly. In addition, PSIO management, including the removable appliance's hygiene maintenance, was also assessed. |
