The cleft lip and palate (CLP) is a developmental and congenital anomaly of unknown etiology. The oronasal fistula is the most common complication of the cleft palate reparation. The most common problems are hypernasality on speech and the passage of fluids and food to the nasal cavity. This case is about a sixteen- year-old boy with a 2,1 cm diameter oronasal fistula due to a right unilateral CLP sequel. He also presented alimentation problems, fluid passage to the nasal cavity, speech defects by velopharyngeal insufficiency (VFI), relationships problems and low self-esteem. A tongue graft in the oronasal fistula, orthodontic treatment and oral rehabilitation were made to give an aesthetic and functional solution. The success of the treatment allowed the patient to improve his relationships due to a greater self-esteem.
