Abstract: Objective To analyze the effect of Bite turbo combined with early class Ⅲ elastics on the treatment of anterior crossbite. Methods 16 patients with anterior crossbite and deep overbite participated in the experiment. Bite turbo combined with early class Ⅲ elastics was used and the clinical effect was observed. Lateral cephalograms were taken before treatment and after bite opening. The related hard tissues were estimated through the cephalograms. Results After a short period of treatment, the anterior crossbite and deep overbite were corrected in all cases. SNB, ANB, MPSN, ANSMe, ANSMe /NMe, U1-SN, U6-PP, L6-MP, L1-MP, overjet and overbite were significantly changed. Conclusion Bite turbo combined with early class Ⅲ elastics can be used effectively for anterior crosssbite correction.
