Abstract
An abnormal labiolingual association between one or more maxillary and mandibular incisor teeth is called anterior cross bite. It is not an unusual finding during mixed dentition. Early diagnosis will aid the expert to treat minor irregularities seen in developing dentition with ease. The current paper presents three case series which describe the successful treatment of anterior cross bite in children with mixed dentition using three different modalities.
Keywords: Anterior Cross bite, Removable Appliances, Expansion Jack Screw, Z- Spring.
