Anterior crossbite is a malrelation in which one or more anterior teeth are malpositioned palatally or lingually in a centric occlusion with the mandibular anterior teeth. An alternative treatment to correct the anterior crossbite is by using a removable orthodontic appliance. This case report aims to report the management of canine crossbite using removable orthodontic appliances for a 25-year-old male patient with class I Angle's dental malocclusion with canine crossbite and deep overbite malrelation. The treatment used a removable orthodontic appliance in the form of an expansion screw combined with a labial button. Within 7 months, the canine crossbite was corrected and the deep overbite was reduced. Proper case selection and patient compliance are needed to achieve a successful removable orthodontic treatment.
