title: [Interceptive treatments (ages 6-10) of transverse deformities: posterior crossbite].
abstract: By means of a review of the literature, the authors argue the case for early treatment of posterior cross bites. They outline the particularities and advantages of various therapeutic techniques including grinding down the interfering cusps of deciduous canines and palatal expansion in the mixed dentition.
