Removable appliances to correct anterior crossbites in the mixed dentition: a systematic review.

Conclusion: A fixed appliance was more cost-effective than a removable appliance in the correction of an anterior crossbite with a functional shift. There was no significant difference in terms of quality of life, pain intensity or long-term stability between the two appliances. On the other hand, both a removable appliance and cemented bite-pads were equally effective in the correction of an anterior dental crossbite without having any side effect.
