Correction of Single-Tooth Crossbite Using a 2x4 Appliance: A Clinical Case Report
Abstract: The 2x4 appliance offers a versatile treatment option, featuring bands cemented or bonded to the first permanent maxillary molars and brackets affixed to the labial surfaces of the maxillary incisors. A continuous archwire passes through the buccal tubes of the molar bands and engages the incisor brackets. This setup provides full control over the anterior teeth, enabling precise and efficient repositioning. Requiring minimal adjustments, the appliance is well-tolerated by patients and supports faster treatment completion. This case report describes the correction of a single-tooth anterior crossbite using the 2x4 appliance.
