Abstract:

Anterior crossbite is one of the most common orthodontic problems encountered during the dental eruption. Usually, the anomaly becomes evident during mixed dentition, as a result of the disharmony between the dental, skeletal and functional components of the orthognathic system. As complications, the presence of the anterior dental cross bite can lead to the thinning of the vestibular alveolar process of the lower incisors and gingival recession. Periodontal changes could recede spontaneously if orthodontic treatment is applied early, in the presence of good oral hygiene. In this case, gingival recession decreased, but not completely receded after orthodontic treatment, although the patient had a good oral hygiene.
