Correction of Scissor's Bite with Modified Transpalatal Arch

Int J Orthod Milwaukee. 2016;27(4):29-30.

Abstract

Compromised occlusion because ofscissor' bite can eventually lead to temporomandibular disorders and severe consequences. Wany devices and orthodontic techniques have been proposed for the correction of this defect. Treatment of scissor's bite with the help of cross. elastics between maxillary and mandibular molars may lead to extrusion of molars resulting in increased vertical dimension. Here, we are going to present management of two cases of scissor's bite with the help of modified transpalatal arch.
