Early correction of an anterior cross bite

By Dr Derek Mahony



This lecture will describe the use of composite inclined planes, called Planas Direct Tracks, to correct cases of anterior and posterior cross bite, in both the deciduous and early mixed dentition.
The technique was developed by Professor Peydro Planas of Spain, and Dr Simoes of Brazil.
Dentists will now be able to prevent the worsening of an anterior, or posterior cross bite, in their paediatric population.
