[1][2] An anterior crossbite can be referred as negative overjet, and is typical of class III skeletal relations (prognathism).

An anterior crossbite due to dental component involves displacement of either maxillary central or lateral incisors lingual to their original erupting positions.

Side-effects caused by dental crossbite can be increased recession on the buccal of lower incisors and higher chance of inflammation in the same area.

[4][5] This type of spring can be attached to a removable appliance which is used by patient every day to correct the tooth position.

An anterior crossbite due to skeletal reasons will involve a deficient maxilla and a more hyperplastic or overgrown mandible.

This can happen due to habits such as digit sucking, prolonged use of pacifier or upper airway obstruction.

This shift can become structural if left untreated for a long time during growth, leading to skeletal asymmetries.

An adolescent presenting with anterior crossbite may be positioning their mandible forward into centric occlusion (CO) due to the dental interferences.

[17] Goal to treat unilateral crossbites should definitely include removal of occlusal interferences and elimination of the functional shift.

[19] Literature states that very few crossbites tend to self-correct which often justify the treatment approach of correcting these bites as early as possible.
