Abstract
Abstract Anterior dental crossbites are one of the most common orthodontic problems that we observe in growing children. Anterior crossbite correction in early mixed dentition is highly recommended as this kind ofmalocclusion do not diminish with age. Uncorrected anterior crossbite may lead to abnormal wear of the lower incisors, dental compensation of mandibular incisors leading to thinning of labial alveolar plate and/or gingival recession. There are several methods for solving this problem. This paper reports a n case of anterior crossbite, which was corrected using the Hawley's appliance with double cantilever spring in a short period of 3 – 4 weeks without causing any damage to the tooth or the periodontium. Conclusion Dental anterior cross-bite involving one or more teeth can be corrected by means of double cantilever spring with posterior bite plane.
