Abstract

  Anterior crossbite in mixed dentition is commonly encountered malocclusion during occlusion development in children. Pediatric dentist plays crucial role in early diagnosis and providing early orthodontic intervention. It is key to guide the developing dentitions in proper functional and morphological occlusion. In present paper, three cases of anterior crossbite are discussed which are corrected using the Catlan’s appliance in a short period without any damage to the tooth or the periodontium. Catlan’s appliance is cost effective in correction of anterior crossbite, also don’t require the patient cooperation like in removable appliance.
