Anterior crossbites can cause a ? is left untreated
Tmj disturbance
etiology of anterior crossbites
skeletal dysplasia
abnormal dental relations
functional interferences
combo of all of the above
arch usually the problem in primary anterior crossbite
maxilla
Popsicle stick used to treat anterior crossbite
tongue blade
 Poor patient compliance
 Inexpensive
 Requires no appliance to wear
tongue blade
Have them bite on the stick until the tissue blanches and it will push the tooth. They do this for a few days and their teeth get sore so they won’t bit on it anymore because it hurts
tongue blade
Sometimes the anterior crossbites look like class ? occlusion, but we don’t know if it actually is.

If it is, they can bite into this anterior crossbite position in a ?
3

smooth flowing arc
 Patient closes with anterior teeth touching incisal edge to incisal edge=then the patient shifts the mandible anteriorly so they can bite down
pseudoclass III occlusion
best way to differentiate from a class 3 and a pseudoclass 3?
mandible shifts forward in pseudo
You should be able to diagnose a crossbite with the mouth open. How?
cuspids walking tall
cause of diastemas between lower incisors?
max teeth pushing them off ridge
 Use an orthodontic band and a wire that goes on the lower. Place a rubber band that goes across the anteriors and will pull the teeth together and back. This is called a ?
Sheppard’s hook
 Constricted maxillae
 Familial
 Strong suckling tendency
 Habits
causes of posterior crossbites
most common etiology of posterior crossbites?
suckling tendency (constricts maxilla)
when should you fix a crossbite according to UT?

dental boards?
immediately

when 6 year molar erupts
3 types of posterior crossbites:

most common?
***unilateral w/ midline shift***
unilateral w/o midline shift
bilateral w/o midline shift
functional crossbite. Also called a convenience bite
posterior CB unilateral w/ a midline shift
This is a tooth arch discrepancy. If you expand the upper arch so that it fits, you will have spaces between all teeth
bilateral posterior CB w/o midline shift
caused by a unilaterally constricted maxilla
unilateral posterior CB w/o midline shift
need more anchorage on the same or opposite side of the crossbite?
opposite
You can notice a posterior crossbite because there is usually more ? on one side than the other
chin
Posterior crossbite with a midline shift is most ? and most ?
common

destructive to the tmj
Rapid palatal expander (jack screw)
Porter "W" appliance
4Quadhelix
3 appliances to treat a Posterior crossbite with a midline shift
rapid palatal expander:
There is a hole in which you place the key and turn toward the back of the mouth. Each turn is ?

This puts pressure on a lot of bones so we will do ? turns a week
¼ of a mm

2 (1/2 mm)
good for primary dentition and doesn't tip the teeth
rapid palatal expander
It opens the mid-palatal suture and moves everything lateral creating a diastema
rapid palatal expander
You can place the wire over the central developmental groove of the lower posterior teeth so that you will never over expand but it tips the teeth
Porter "W" appliance
just like a porter except it has coils in it(which trap tissue)?

the ? the wire the kinder it is to the tissue
4Quadhelix

longer
if you don;t correct posterior crossbite by the age of 5 then the ? will not develop properly
articular eminence
75-80% of the time the ? is involved in the posterior crossibte
lateral
Remember to tell mom that a ? will result from the expansion. They will eventually close though
diastema
maxilla is constricted and too narrow from thumb sucking. You have to correct the habit before you correct the corssbite because it will just come back
thumb sucking
use a single wire with a rubber band. This will fix it but sometimes they won’t wear it
single tooth posterior crossbite
kind of looks like a lower lingual arch. It has a hollow tube in the anterior and a coiled spring running along the posteriors
E arch
A symmetrical open bite is caused by ?. But an open bite that is messed up is probably caused from a ?
the tongue

digit habit
2 treatments for open bites
A bead appliance

Crib appliance
the bead will spin on the wire that is involved in the appliance. The child will play with the bead and it will cause them to swallow. They will reprogram the tongue
bead appliance
this will physically keep the tongue from going forward. If a huge tongue pushes on the palate it can push everything forward and this is bad! So use this appliance to fix it
crib appliance
• If pt has kissing tonsils that touch in the midline, they can reduce the air flow and cause construction. Thus people will keep the ? forward and get a ?
tongue

long face
what to do at first pedo appointment?
med/dental history
