Abstract

Introduction: Scissor bite is when the posterior tooth of the maxilla is too towards the opening than it should be, accompanied by the or absence of contact between the side of the cusp lingual maxilla tooth with the opening cusp of the mandible tooth. Removable expansion plate is a tools that serves to dilate the curve of the teeth that are experiencing contractions, which can be removed by the patient himself. Background: The 23-year-old female patient came to UMY Hospital complaining that the right jaw joint hurt so it interfered with activity. Patient complaints have been felt since 6 months ago. Patients have a habit of chewing on one side (using the left side) because the teeth on the right side hurt to chew. Patients 4 years ago removed ortho-deftly and wear a retainer for only 1 month. The use stopped because the retainer was gone. The last patient went to the dentist 5 months ago for scaling. Installation of orthodontics was deft about 7 years ago. Patients have scissor bite and cusp to cusp on the posterior tooth. Molar relation: Class I angle. There is a mild malposition of individual teeth.

Management: Unilateral expansion treatment is carried out using un-symmetrical parallel release expansion plates. The expansive component uses fisher expansion. The retentive component uses adam’s clasp on teeth 16 and 26, 36 and 46. Use a short labial arch with a U loop at the canine.

Conclusion: Un-symmetrical parallel removable expansion plates can correct scissor bites and cusp to cusp bites in patients.
