Abstract :
Crossbite is a form of malocclusion in which a tooth (or teeth) in the upper or lower dental arch is more buccal or lingual (that is, closer to the cheek or tongue) than its corresponding antagonist tooth. Crossbite, to put it another way, is a lateral misalignment of the dental arches. Crossbite should be corrected as soon as a child’s cooperation is obtained. Early treatment may prevent or slow the progression of abnormal alveolar processes and jaws.
