Zusammenfassung:	In patients with untreated cleft lip and permanent dentition, the central superior incisors are usually rotated. We use a technique that we call "dental rotation" to adjust these teeth into normal position and occlusion. This technique avoids having a hard structure (a rotated tooth) press against the mucosal sutures in a lip closure. In addition, a better aesthetic appearance of the dental arch results.
