Editing Cleft lip and cleft palate (section)

=== Teeth ===
Tooth development can be delayed with increasing severity of CLP. Some of the dental problems affect the [[Deciduous teeth|primary teeth]], but most of the problems arise after the permanent teeth erupt. Problems may include fused teeth, missing teeth, and extra teeth erupting behind normal teeth. Missing teeth or extra teeth are both normal occurrences. Typically, the lateral incisors are missing. The [[Tooth enamel|enamel]] (outermost layer of the tooth) is commonly found to be hypomineralized and hypoplastic, making the teeth more likely to decay. As CLP can make oral hygiene more difficult, there is an increased rate of cavities.<ref>{{Citation|chapter=Index|date=August 23, 2013|pages=355–370|publisher=John Wiley & Sons, Ltd,.|isbn=978-1-118-78504-1|doi=10.1002/9781118785041.index|title=Orthodontics: Principles and Practice|doi-access=free}}</ref> In addition, abnormal positioning of individual teeth may affect occlusion, which can create an open bite or cross bite.
