Abstract

     Anterior crossbite in Class III malocclusion is frequently found. Incidence of Class III malocclusion in Asia is much more than in Europe or America. A 27 years old Thai female came with anterior crossbite problem at right upper lateral incisor. Patient has straight facial profile. Diagnosis from lateral cephalometric analysis is mild Class III skeletal relationship (ANB=0). Space discrepancies are 3 and 4.5 mm. in maxilla and mandible, respectively. Molar relationships are right Class I and left Class III relationship. Orthodontic treatment plan is non-extraction. Treatment time is 12 months only. Treatment outcome is better occlusion, no change in facial profile and more beautiful smile. Prognosis of correction anterior crossbite in this case is good.
