Abstract
The objective of the present paper is to describe a soft palate Level device, the veloretractor, which is a combination of orthodontic appliance and therapeutic aid in speech therapy. Its use is demonstrated in a case report of a child with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate. Both orthodontic and phoniatric/pedaudiologic treatment needs during the course are demonstrated along with the treatment results.
