Correction of Anterior Crossbite in The Mixed Dentition with Removable Appliances: A case report
Keywords:
Anterior crossbite, Mixed dentition, Removable applianceAbstract
Anterior crossbite is a malocclusion that is most common in children which one or more maxillary anterior teeth occlude lingually to the mandibular incisors in centric relation. The problems of anterior crossbite are tooth wear, traumatic occlusion, tooth mobility and gingival recession of anterior teeth and inhibition of maxillary growth, so anterior crossbite requires early and immediate treatment.
This case report presents the treatment of a 10-year-old boy with anterior crossbite of 21/31 using removable acrylic appliances with posterior bite plane incorporating double cantilever spring. During treatment, the patient cooperated well. The duration of treatment was 5 months and 6 months follow up, the anterior crossbite was successfully corrected. The patient has a normal occlusion and good oral hygiene.
