Cross bite is a malocclusion that may occur during facial growth, preventing the growth of the maxilla. It may be located in the anterior or posterior region. The interceptive treatment can prevent sequelae and increased severity of malocclusion prior to the establishment of the permanent dentition. Thus, there may be the redirecting of facial growth and restoring functional balance. interceptive orthodontic treatments when instituted early and with the collaboration of the patient, show significant results in anterior and posterior cross bite through fixed devices or removable appliances. Removable devices have the great advantage of facilitating the oral hygiene of the child. This study aims to report the correction of anterior and posterior cross bite present in a male child 10 years old at the stage of transitional dentition using fixed and removable orthodontic appliances, in order to minimize the complexity of malocclusion and the need for possible future orthodontic and surgical treatments. The results of interceptive orthodontic treatment will be collected, analyzed and compared with the literature.
