What happens in crossbite treatment?

Normally, the upper dental arch is wider than the lower dental arch and the upper teeth sit outside the bottom teeth. This maintains a ‘normal’ occlusal relationship between the upper and lower teeth and helps a person chew properly. In case of crossbite, this relationship is distorted, and the lower teeth occlude outside the upper teeth.

A crossbite can be of two types:

Posterior crossbite: It occurs in the molars and premolars. In posterior crossbite, the upper teeth appear tilted inwards toward the tongue instead of being straight.
Anterior crossbite: Anterior crossbite concerns the front teeth, i.e, incisors and canines. In this condition, the front teeth sit behind the lower front teeth.

Crossbite is a very common dental issue and can be resolved using a variety of teeth straightening treatments, such as:

Dental braces: Dental braces are fixed orthodontic appliances that help correct dental misalignment.
Teeth aligners: Teeth aligner treatment is a removable orthodontic treatment. The treatment comprises clear custom trays that help move teeth to their correct position.
Jaw surgery: Jaw surgery is reserved for patients with severe crossbite that exists due to improper jaw alignment rather than teeth misalignment.

Pristyn Care provides advanced teeth aligner treatment for crossbite correction to provide the patient with a hassle-free, comfortable treatment journey.

What happens during dental aligner treatment for crossbite correction?

The treatment procedure begins with a thorough diagnosis. During the first appointment, the surgeon will inspect your oral health and figure out if you need any auxiliary dental treatments such as cleaning, filling, capping, extraction, RCT, etc., before beginning the treatment.

Once they’ve examined your teeth and gum health, they will perform diagnostic and imaging tests such as oral photographs, lateral cephalograms, X-rays, oral pantomogram (OPG), 3D dental scan, etc. On the basis of these diagnostic tests, they will formulate the treatment plan and fabricate your aligner trays.

Your aligner trays will be delivered to you at your home. Normally, the number of aligner tray sets required for correction can be from 6-48, and each tray may need to be worn for 1-2 weeks, 20-22 hours a day.

Once the treatment is done, you will have to wear clear retainers for around 6-12 months to prevent the teeth from sliding back to their original position. The active treatment time for dental aligners can vary from 6-18 months depending on the severity of the malocclusion.

What should I expect after dental aligner treatment for crossbite?

Long-term oral hygiene maintenance is necessary in order to guarantee the success of dental aligner treatment. Wearing the first aligner tray may feel very uncomfortable. Moreover, aligners can’t be worn while eating, so they have to be taken out every time you are consuming something.

Some patients have trouble figuring out the best way to take out the aligners for eating, brushing and tray cleaning. Do not use your nails as they may wound the already sensitive gums and increase the chances of gum bleeding. Once the patient gets used to the aligner trays, they will stop noticing the presence of aligners at all.

What are the benefits of crossbite treatment through dental aligners?

There are a several benefits of crossbite correction treatment through dental aligners, such as:

Smile makeover and better aesthetic appearance after the treatment
Removable braces – so there are no dietary restrictions
Easier to brush, floss, and maintain dental hygiene
No cuts or trauma to the oral soft tissues

Crossbite correction also helps prevent side effects of crossbite such as loose teeth, gum recession, tooth wear, dental cavities, uneven jaw growth, asymmetrical facial features, Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), etc.

Other treatment options for crossbite correction

In addition to the treatment strategies described above, there are certain other methods that can be used for crossbite treatments, such as:

A palatal expander is an orthodontic device that is attached to the upper teeth against the roof of the oral cavity and helps slowly widen the palate and jaw.
There are some removable orthodontic appliances with a spring that can be used in children with growing jaws to expand the bone without causing significant pain to the patient.
A fixed palatal crib is generally useful in preventing crossbite and its worsening in children with oral habits such as thumb sucking.
Myofunctional therapy is beneficial in patients where the crossbite exists due to tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, etc. During the therapy, patients are taught how to chew and swallow so that your tongue doesn’t push your teeth out of place and patients can learn to breathe through the nose instead of the mouth.

What are the adverse effects of crossbite if not treated in time?

While crossbite is a painless condition, it is not without its risks. Most patients do not consider the risks of crossbite beyond the aesthetic problems. However, crossbite can lead to a variety of other issues such as poor oral hygiene, difficulty in brushing teeth, dental cavities, TMJ disorders, bad breath, etc., if not treated properly in time.

Crossbite can also lead to gum recession, tooth wear, difficulty in speaking and forming certain sounds in some people. In some cases, it can also lead to sleep apnea, headaches, etc., due to improper occlusal pressure distribution in the jaw.

FAQ

How is crossbite caused?

Crossbite can be caused due to either skeletal or dental issues, such as oral habits, growth delays, bone structure problems, upper airway restrictions, etc. Some other common causes behind crossbite are missing teeth, retention of baby teeth, early loss of primary teeth, cleft lip/palate, mouth breathing, small jaw, etc.

What is the best age for crossbite correction?

Childhood is generally the preferred time period for crossbite correction as the children’s jaws are still developing during this time period. Most orthodontists prefer the age of 7-8 years old for crossbite correction.

Is crossbite correction covered under insurance?

Most medical insurance policies do not cover dental treatments, especially for adults. However, some insurance providers are now providing dental insurance, while some others are including coverage for certain dental treatments. Consult your insurance provider to know for sure.

How long does crossbite correction with dental aligners take?

Crossbite correction with clear aligners can take 6 months to 2 years, depending on the severity. Mild cases of crossbite can take around 6-8 months, but in severe cases, it can take around 12-24 months.

What does the treatment plan for crossbite depend on?

Crossbite treatment can depend on a variety of factors such as severity and location of the crossbite, patient’s age, overall health condition, commitment to the treatment, and their personal preference.
