Abstract

Background: Anterior crossbite is the term used to define an occlusal problem involving palatal positioning of the maxillary anterior teeth relative to the mandibular anterior teeth. It has a reported incidence of 4-5% and is usually the result of a palatal malposition of the maxillary incisors resulting from a lingual eruption path.
Case Series: Three male patients reported to the department of pediatric and preventive dentistry, Sri Aurobindo College of Dentistry with the chief finding of anterior cross bite were treated with different fixed and removable treatment modalities.
Conclusion: During the early correction of simple and minor malocclusions, which is a part of interceptive orthodontic treatment, the anterior cross-bite is corrected more rapidly & it is achieved by removable appliances or fixed appliances.
