Aim: The aim of this study was to compare different anterior cross-bite correction systems and evalute the effects of these.
Methods: It was decided to apply different correction techniques on 3 child patients, aged 8,9 and 9, who applied to our clinic at different times with the complaint of cross bite on their anterior teeth. Case 1: Our 8-year-old patient’s tooth number 11 was in cross-bite. By making a bite-ramp with composite resin on tooth number 41, the occlusion was increased and sliding surface was created for tooth number 11. Case 2: A removable anterior spring appliance was applied to our 9-year-old patient, whose tooth number 21 had a cross-bite. Case 3: A removable anterior screw appliance was applied to our last patient, who is 9-year-old and had tooth number 21 and 11 was a cross-bite.
Results: Case 1: Patient’s tooth number 11 returned to its normal position in just 2 weeks.
Case 2: Patient’s tooth number 21 returned to its normal position in 3 months. Case 3: Patient’s tooth number 11 and 21 returned to its normal positions in 7 months because of her bad cooperation.
Conclusions: There are different tecniques for correcting anterior cross-bite. While removable ones require patient cooperation, fixed ones do not. It is also important to catch the toot during its eruption period.
