Aim: In this case report, anterior crossbite treatment in dental Class I malocclusion with a removable appliance is
presented.
Case Report: Systemically healthy 9-year-old girl in mixed dentition referred to Inonu University Faculty of Dentistry,
Department of Pediatric Dentistry with the complaint of non-aesthetic appearance of the upper anterior teeth. In the
clinical examination, crossbite is determined in the central incisors (11,21). A removable acrylic appliance was designed
with biteplane, vestibul arch, retainer adams clasps and a labiolingual spring in the palatine of the central incisors (11,21).
The patient was recommended to use the appliance for at least 16 hours a day. Ideal dental closure of the central incisors
was achieved after 1 months. The patient was followed up during the transition from mixed tooth to permanent tooth.
Conclusion: In this presented case, simple anterior crossbite were treated with modified removable appliance during
mixed dentition. Limiting the growth force of the maxilla by the mandibula causes loss of periodontal tissue in the
antagonist tooth. Therefore, dentists should be aware of this situation and take early precautions with simple removable
appliances to prevent patient becoming a fixed orthodontic patient in the future.
