Anterior crossbite is an abnormal labiolingual relation in which maxillary anterior teeth are locked behind the mandibular anterior teeth. Many methods are used to raise the bite to correct anterior crossbite. Here, a new method is described which will retain the bite blocks in place for easier correction of anterior crossbite.
