Anterior crossbite can be a result of skeletal, functional or dental disharmony of the the orthognathic system. Removable and fixed appliances are widely used methods to correct them. In the current study, 4 cases having anterior cross bite have been presented which were treated by Class III activator, anterior inclined bite plate, chin cap and 2 by 4 fixed mechanics. Anterior crossbite was corrected successfully by using these appliances and the results achieved have been presented.
