The reference plane was defined as a plane passing through the anterior nasal spinal point, greater palatine foramen point on the left side (GPF-L), and greater palatine foramen point on the right side (GPF-R). (Left, arrow) The inferior and (Right, arrow) superior planes were horizontal and parallel to the reference plane, defined to identify the upper and lower margins of the alveolar defect based on the reference plane. The inferior plane passed through the labial cemento-enamel junction of the central incisor on the cleft side, and the superior plane passed through the most inferior margin of the contralateral nostril floor in the coronal plane where canines were seen
