“…On the other hand, with fixed therapy, the benefits over removable appliances are they are not bulky, cause bodily tooth movement, have better control, and have lesser overall treatment time. 5 In the present case series, the use of a bite-raising composite to raise the bite in a fixed appliance as compared to a posterior bite plane in a removable appliance offered better oral hygiene maintenance and was convenient and comfortable to the patient. 2 All three cases with fixed therapy were corrected on an average time of 1 week and showed greater comfort as the patient did not have to remove the appliance multiple times.…”

“…Anterior crossbite has a reported incidence of 4-5% which usually becomes evident during the early mixed dentition phase. 5 It has been recommended to treat anterior crossbite as soon as it is encountered by the clinician. If untreated, can lead to abnormal enamel abrasion of the lower incisors, dental compensation of mandibular incisors leading to thinning of the labial alveolar plate, or gingival recession.…”

Early loss of deciduous teeth can cause the drifting of teeth reducing the space available for the eruption of permanent successors and thus maintenance of space is critical to prevent malocclusion. At times, multiple decayed teeth can occur simultaneously with a single-tooth anterior crossbite, which is a major functional concern to the dentist and esthetic concern to the parents during the developmental stage of a child. Hence, there is a need for an appliance that can cater to both conditions of space management and anterior crossbite correction concurrently. The following case series focuses on the time taken and the comfort of the patient and for the correction of crossbite using a Modified Nance palatal appliance. All three cases took an average of 1 week for crossbite correction and patients showed superior comfort and compliance.
