Crossbites typically occur when the top teeth bite inside the lower teeth. Crossbites of the back teeth are usually the result of a narrow upper jaw. If left untreated it can cause asymmetric growth, aberrant eruption, and complicate future treatment. Usually a crossbite is fixed with a palatal expansion appliance resulting in a stable skeletal correction. The gallery below shows several cases treated in Dr. Broermann's office.
