Scissor bite is the buccal displacement of maxillary posterior tooth, with or without contact between the palatal surface of the maxillary palatal cusp and the buccal surface of mandibular antagonist’s buccal cusp. A complete buccal cross bite, known as Brodie bite, is severe transverse skeletal discrepancy when all buccal cusps of the mandibular molars are telescoped within the palatal cusps of the maxillary molars. It is a rare form of malocclusion seen in primary and mixed dentition. It can be bilateral, unilateral, or localized and is due to multiple etiologies. It is caused by a combination of excessive maxillary width and a narrow mandibular alveolar process. This article focuses on types, etiology, features and management modalities of brodie bite.
