: Malocclusion is a common oral disease affecting children with various reported
prevalence rates. This systematic review aimed to determine the epidemiological characteristics of
malocclusion among adults with cleft lip and cleft palate. The frequency of agenesis of the second
premolar, hypodontia of the lateral incisor, congenital absence of the lateral incisor, supernumerary
teeth, agenesis of the lateral incisor, and other anomalies like inter canine and intermolar width,
microdontia, and enamel hypoplasia was estimated to be 40%, 50%, 30%, 7.3%, 31.1%, 4.4%, and
4.9% of adult patients between the ages of 12 and 18 years, respectively. Additionally, there was
slight difference in malocclusion by gender
