Abstract
Anterior crossbite may cause esthetic and functional problems during childhood development. One of the most
important duties of the pediatric dentist and orthodontist is to ensure normal development of dentition during orofacial
maturation. When malocclusion is detected at later stages, treatment becomes more complicated. This case series
presents two cases of anterior crossbite corrected within three weeks by using Catlan’s appliance.
