Resumo


OBJECTIVES: To present specific clinical interception procedures instituted to reduce malocclusionseverity on developmental stage. Anterior tooth cross-bite, involving one or two permanent teeth, is acommon form of malocclusion diagnosed in children about 6 years of age. RESULTS ANDDISCUSSION: Various devices can be suggested for single tooth cases, like removable cantilevereddouble-helix apparatus with digital springs, which is one of the most efficient to intercept malocclusion.In the other hand, fixed appliance does not depend on patient’s cooperation and have greater actionpower and liberates more continuous forces. CONCLUSION: Dental anterior cross-bite, involvingone tooth, can be corrected by means of the multi-loop arch wire with a double-helix, even in caseswhere adequate space for alignment is lacking.
