Can Dento-facial Orthopedics Be Applied for Someone with a Repaired Cleft Palate?

For an adult person considering orthodontics plus dento-facial orthopedics to fix an underbite (7.5mm diff b/w lower and upper jaw) and crossbite, is it possible to use orthopedic devices like palatal expanders when the individual has previously had surgery to repair a cleft palate? Since the cleft palate surgery closed the gap in the roof of the mouth, and the expander is supposed to pull it apart, would that create an issue?
