The Glasgow Anterior Stabilisation (GAS) Appliance - A Novel Orthodontic Appliance for Pre-Maxillary Stabilisation in Bilateral Cleft Lip and Palate

We are writing to describe our experience of the Glasgow Anterior Stabilization (GAS) appliance: A novel fixed orthodontic that we have found to be very useful in the stabilization of the pre-maxilla in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate. The GAS appliance offers easy application and removal and is optimized to provide good surgical access to the cleft site for bone grafting or osteotomy. We have successfully used this appliance in a series of 10 cases and have found it to be very clinically versatile.
