Crossbite can involve a single tooth or multiple teeth and it
can be related to dental, skeletal origin, or both. In young patients it is often treated with
skeletal expansion on the upper arch followed by braces to align their teeth. However, in adult patients jaw surgery is
often needed to correct it.
A crossbite is more than just a cosmetic imperfection; it
could result in many conditions such as TMJ, loose teeth, receding gums,
excessive wear of enamel on permanent teeth, and asymmetrical growth of your
face and jaw.
Shown below is a crossbite case that was treated at our
office by Dr Nguyen without teeth extraction or surgery.
