Abstract
|
|
|
Anterior crossbite is a common malocclusion in the early deciduous dention. Even today, many these malocclusion patients are not treated until the ixed or permanent dentition.
And the purpose here is to emphasize the need for early diagnosis and possible treatment for these anterior crossbite malocclusions and their associated facial patterns.
Case histories of 4 patients selected from the author's practice are presented.
Different methods of treatment are evaluated. Some improvement was achieved in all patients from an early interceptive regimen, although ultimately corrective orthodontic treatment may still be needed in some.
It is concluded that early interception of deciduous anterior crossbite malocclusion should by attempted in patients ; there should be no delemma in reaching such a decision.
And it is essential for diagnosis and treatment to determine exact variations in growth when some appliance are used, it is recommended that growth-related records be made as early as possible.
