Abstract

The objective of this article is to describe the treatment of an 8-year-old boy with anterior crossbite and premature loss of the second primary molar due to the ectopic eruption of the maxillary first permanent molar. A modified Nance appliance was used to distalize the maxillary first permanent molar. And the crossbite of the anterior region was corrected by two-by-four (2×4) appliance. Satisfactory function was achieved for this patient, which greatly simplified the subsequent treatment in the permanent teeth.
