Patient Chief Concern
Anterior crossbite

What learning would you share with other Invisalign providers?
In cases of a functional anterior shift, a crossbite can be corrected without orthognathic surgery or significant distalization of the lower teeth.

What contributed most to this treatment being successful?
The Invisalign treatment was successful because an accurate diagnosis confirmed a functional crossbite, and this functional anterior shift of the mandible was corrected.

Clinical Indications

Anterior crossbite
Asymmetric arches
Class III
Deep bite
Mandibular midline deviation

The anterior crossbite was caused by a functional shift of the mandible. Guiding the mandible into centric relation resulted in an edge-to-edge bite.

Modalities

Distalization
Elastics: Class III
Intrusion
Leveling Curve of Spee
Proclination
