<p><strong>Aim.</strong> The research is to analyze studying dynamics of formation and features of maxillary dentition deformities in patients’ age aspect with right-sided transverse congenital clefts of the upper lip and palate after surgical interferences.</p><p><strong>Methods.</strong> The analysis of 24 diagnostic patient models with right-sided transverse congenital clefts of the upper lip and palate has been done according to the age and sex peculiarities. The maxillary dentition width compared to the normal state and the length of the upper jaw’s frontal area.</p><p><strong>Results.</strong> The following features of the maxillary dentition state have been detected: the maxillary dentition’s asymmetric narrowing due to larger displacement of small fragment of cleft upper jaw inward; the upper jaw’s lagging in growth in the sagittal direction, which increases with age; asymmetric placement of similar teeth in dentition; in a later age configuration of the maxillary dentition gets even more distorted because of the vestibular cuspid dentition.</p><p><strong>Conclusions.</strong> Detected features of formation of deformations of the upper jaw dental row and their dynamics in patients with right-sided transverse congenital cleft of upper lip and palate should be considered in providing orthodontic care to these patients and choosing the right construction for their further orthopedic treatment</p>
