Abstract :

Malocclusion is prevalent in the society we live in. Cross bite is one of the most complex ones which not only hinders the function of the tooth and jaw but also compromises the aesthetics. Correction of cross bite should be carried out as early as possible before it fully establishes itself; but often we find patients come with a fully established cross bite. In this case report anterior tooth cross bite was corrected with the technique of piggy back wire with the inclusion of the open coil spring.
