Abstract EN
Among the commonly encountered dental irregularities which constitute developing malocclusion is the crossbite.
During primary and mixed dentition phase, the crossbite is seen very often and if left untreated during these phases then a simple problem may be transformed into a more complex problem.
Different techniques have been used to correct anterior and posterior crossbites in mixed dentition.
This case report describes the use of hexa helix, a modified version of quad helix for the management of anterior crossbite and bilateral posterior crossbite in early mixed dentition.
Correction was achieved within 15 weeks with no damage to the tooth or the marginal periodontal tissue.
The procedure is a simple and effective method for treating anterior and bilateral posterior crossbites simultaneously.
