The treatment of skeletally unilateral posteriorcrossbite is a more difficult anomally especially inmature patients. Rapid maxiler expansion which iseasily practiced in young patients as the treatmentof this problem, is practiced in mature patients bymeans of corticotomies in the maxilla because ofthe increase in articulations' rigidity caused bymaxilla and face bones. Bilateral expansionprovided by this way also causes expansion in theside where no narrowness exists, and this extendsthe time of treatment. In this case presentation, wehave presented the orthodontic treatment of a 16years old female patient following an unilateralkorikomomi and rapid maxillary expansion. Afterexpansion, a good occlusion and esthetical smile isacquired without causing excessive expansion inthe side where no narrowness exists.
İskeletsel tek taraflı posterior çapraz kapanış özellikle yetişkinlerde tedavisi zor bir anomalidir. Genç bireylerde bu problemin çözümünde kolaylıkla uygulanan hızlı maksiler genişletme, yetişkinlerde maksillanın çevre yüz kemikleriyle yaptığı artikülasyonların rijiditesindeki artma nedeniyle maksillada yapılan kortikotomiler yardımıyla uygulanmaktadır. Bu yolla yapılan çift taraflı genişletme darlık olmayan tarafta da genişlemeye sebep olmakta, bu da tedavi süresini uzatmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumunda 16 yaşında, tek taraflı posterior çapraz kapanışı olan bayan hastada, tek taraflı kortikotomi ve hızlı üst çene genişletmesini takiben yapılan ortodontik tedavi sunulmuştur. Ekspansiyon sonrası darlık olmayan tarafta aşırı bir genişlemeye sebep olmadan, iyi bir okluzyon ve estetik bir gülümseme elde edilmiştir.
