Skeletal class II malocclusion with anterior crossbite presents a significant challenge in the field of orthodontics. Although anterior crossbite association with class II malocclusion is not common in literature, this condition not only impacts the patient’s quality of life by affecting his facial appearance and resembling cosmetic concerns, but it can also affect masticatory and respiratory functions. The management of skeletal malocclusion class II with anterior crossbite requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account the severity of the condition, the patient's age, and their treatment preferences. A comprehensive search of prominent databases has revealed a range of management strategies used in clinical practice. This review categorizes these intervention methods into orthodontic, and surgical interventions to provide clinicians with an evidence-based decision-making foundation and help determine the best management plan that will provide optimal outcomes for patients with this complicated malocclusion. In conclusion, further high quality evidence is needed to accurately determine the incidence of class II malocclusion with anterior crossbite and the varying outcomes according to the management strategy.
