Molar Palatal Attachment - A Novel Appliance for Crossbite Correction
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Crossbite is an abnormal relation of one or more teeth of one arch to the opposing tooth or teeth of the other arch, in buccolingual direction in centric occlusion caused by deviation of tooth/teeth position or abnormal jaw position. Crossbite can be dental or skeletal or functional in origin. It can be seen either in anterior teeth or posterior teeth. Posterior crossbite is less commonly seen clinically as compared to anterior crossbite and is also more complex to be treated. Various treatment modalities are available for its correction like interarch elastics, expansion screws either rapid or slow, hyrax appliance, quad helix, W arch appliance, molar palatal attachments etc.
