Abstract

Treatment consists mainly of correction of anterior crossbite, extraction of deciduous teeth, surgical exposure of unerupted teeth &orthodontic traction to help eruption, leveling and alignment with Edgewise fixed appliances with multiloop technique. Treatment time required 3years. However the treatment resulted in Class I molar occlusion with proper alignment of  upper & lower anterior segment, an ideal overjet, overbite andincisor angulations.
