Abstract

     Anterior dental crossbite requires early and immediate treatment to prevent anterior teeth mobility and fracture, periodontal pathosis, and temporomandibular joint disturbance. Interceptive treatment can help correct this problem in a short period of time by selecting proper treatment
plan and appliances.
    A 7 year-old Thai girl came with anterior crossbite problem. Diagnosis is skeletal class I relationship with dental crossbite and early loss of multiple deciduous teeth. Treatment plan is minor tooth movement with removable appliances designed with spring and posterior raised bite. After 3 months of wearing appliance, anterior crossbite problem has been corrected, and alignment of lower incisors is better. So this appliance was adjusted to be space maintainer for patient wearing until permanent teeth erupt to normal position. Factors of success are early treatment time in mixed dentition, proper appliance and good parents and patient cooperation.
