A Management of Anterior Crossbite with Removable Posterior Bite Riser, Composite Inclined Plane, or Fixed Appliance.

Anterior crossbite interferes with appearance, causing a lack of self-confidence, especially for women. Although the prevalence of anterior crossbite is small, the anterior teeth have an important aesthetic role due to being related to smiling, laughing, and speaking. This study aims to review of four cases of anterior crossbite treatment. Clinical related presentation and intervention: an acrylic tool with a posterior bite riser is used to correct the anterior crossbite and align the incisors. Another case of anterior dental crossbite was treated using a composite inclined plane and fixed appliance. The final result of the treatment showed that the occlusion between the maxilla and mandible was quite good, and the anterior crossbite was corrected. What is unique about this case report is that the anterior crossbite differs in its treatment due to the difference in age and the difference in space available in the maxilla. In conclusion, anterior crossbite accompanied by incomplete root formation can be treated using a composite inclined plane. Whereas, complete root formation can be treated using a posterior bite riser or fixed appliance. Proper management of anterior crossbite from both functional and aesthetic perspectives is of utmost importance for the overall success of orthodontic treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
