Abstract EN

Single tooth anterior dental crossbite is the commonly encountered malocclusion during the development of occlusion in children.

Various treatment options such as removable and fixed appliances have been suggested by different authors in the past literature.

This paper presents two cases of anterior crossbite corrected using the standard Catlan's appliance (Lower Inclined Bite Plane) in a short period of three weeks without any damage to the tooth or the periodontium.

This fixed appliance is a simple and traditional method which does not depend on patient cooperation to reverse the bite.
