title: Anterior crossbite correction with fixed appliances in the adult dentition.
abstract: Anterior crossbite in the adult dentition, if not corrected, can cause other functional problems for the patient. These adult patients can be treated quickly and with confidence by most general dentists with the use of pre-adjusted appliances and straight wire. This article presents a clinical picture of three cases involving anterior crossbite correction in the adult patient with the use of fixed appliances and an acrylic splint.
