A ten year old patient who presented with supernumerary teeth palatally behind the maxillary central incisors and the consequential orthodontic problems (crossbite and proclination) as a result of the supernumerary teeth was treated with a 2X6 fixed orthodontic appliance. This fixed orthodontic therapy corrected the crossbite and proclination in a short duration (3 months) of time.
