This document discusses the definition, etiology, classification, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of cross bites. Cross bites can be anterior or posterior and can have dental, skeletal, or functional causes. Diagnosis involves examining the patient's history, clinically evaluating the malocclusion, and using study models and radiographs. Management depends on the type and severity of cross bite, and may involve appliances to guide tooth movement, expand the dental arches, or correct underlying skeletal discrepancies. Interceptive treatment is emphasized for cross bites developing in the primary or mixed dentitions to prevent progression into more complex malocclusions.

![[I] IN PRIMARY DENTITION:
(Preventive orthodontic)
Elimination of the factors that may lead to the anterior cross bite
Eg –
Removal of occlusal prematurities

![[II] IN MIXED DENTITION:
Interceptive orthodontics
(In pre-adolescent age group)
Anterior cross bite should be treated at an early stage.
Because
(i) If a cross bite present in the deciduous dentition, it may manifest in the mixed
& permanent dentition as well.
(ii) If a simple anterior cross bite is not treated in early stage
It may progress into skeleton malocclusion that later need complicated
orthodontic treatment or surgical treatment.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/crossbiteortho-121216095907-phpapp02/85/Crossbite-ortho_-20-320.jpg)

- 21. (1) Use of tongue blade Indications Used when a cross bite is seen at the time the permanent teeth are making an appearance in the oral cavity. It is placed inside the mouth contacting the palatal aspect of the maxillary teeth. Upon slight closure of jaw the opposing side of the stick come in contact with the labial aspect of the opposing mandibular tooth acts as a fulcrum. This is continued for 1-2 hours for about 2 weeks.

Patients cooperation is required. (2) Catlan’s appliance or lower anterior inclined plane Indications - Used only in those cases where the cross bite is due to a palataly placed max incisors.
