Abstract

Malocclusion is known to be multifactorial affecting a wide range of populations in many ways. It can have pernicious effects on the quality of life of an individual since it is associated with both aesthetic and functional matters. Crossbites, having been considered one of the most common malocclusions, also serves as a route for future problems. The objective was to treat a 22-year-old male patient who presented with a single tooth anterior and lingual crossbite. A non-extraction treatment followed by settling of occlusion which met the treatment plan was performed, delivering a corrected smile both functionally and aesthetically.
