An efficient method for correction of anterior crossbite without using bite plates

Abstract: SUMMARYIn cases of anterior crossbite we need to disocclude the bite so as to initiate unrestricted pathway for the teeth to come into the arch. Various techniques have been advocated for this purpose but most of them are either costly, time consuming or not very effective. So, by the use of simple bondable Begg bracket and elastics we devised a method to disocclude the bite and help in correction of anterior crossbite. It is easy, economical, efficient and less time consuming. BACKGROUND

“…As the patient did not present a functional shift of the mandible and the lateral cephalometry showed a good relationship between the bone bases and a decreased axial inclination of the maxillary incisors, we were able to diagnose the anterior crossbite as a dental one. 21 Bhardwaj 22 highlighted the necessity of disoccluding the bite to allow the correction of the anterior crossbite. Hence, the choice for the acrylic-splint fitted the necessity of correction for the anterior and posterior crossbites.…”

“…Skeletal crossbite denotes a concave skeletal and soft tissue profile that usually requires extensive interventions to be managed whereas the Dental (or dentoalveolar) anterior crossbite is more of a localized problem which can be easily managed. Crossbite may result from the over-retention of deciduous teeth, irregular eruption pattern, or simple malposition of permanent teeth" [6,7]. The literature reveals a lot of treatment modalities for crossbite like Catlan's appliance, tongue blade therapy [2], removable orthodontic appliance incorporating spring bilateral occlusal build-ups for spontaneous correction of anterior crossbite, fixed orthodontic treatment [6], reverse stainless steel crown, custom formed resin bonded composite inclined slope [8], expansion screw, lip bumper, quad helix and W-arch appliances [9,10].…”
