Millard technique was used to repair the cleft lip in neonatal period. Between 6 and 18 months, the palate cleft was closed by wardill-kilner technique. A gingivoperiostoplasty with osseous graft was performed between 8 and 12 years. The orthodontic treatment began at 7 years. Pharyngoplasty was necessary in several cases. Sequellae and rhinoplasty was performed at the end of the growth. The authors explained their choices.
