Single Tooth Cross-bite

Clinically, a single tooth crossbite is described by many Orthodontists as a true Orthodontic emergency and should be attended to as and when detected. The option that i normally use is fixed brackets on the upper anteriors extending upto the deciduous 2nd molar. A glass ionomer bite platform may or may not be necessary if the bracket is not obstructed by the opposing incisors. Treatment time is usually upto a few months only. Full treatment may be required after complete eruption of the permanent dentition. This is an interceptive Orthodontic procedure.
