Abstract

Abstract : In cases of anterior crossbite we need to disocclude the bite so as to initiate unrestricted pathway for the teeth to come into the arch. Various techniques have been advocated for this purpose but most of them are either costly, time consuming or not very effective. So, by the use of simple bondable Begg bracket and elastics we devised a method to disocclude the bite and help in correction of anterior crossbite. It is easy, economical, efficient and less time consuming.
