2 years later (Phase 2):  Now 7 year old boy treated with adjustable removable appliance (Finger Spring) to move the upper front right central incisor forward to correct an anterior reverse crossbite.  The appliance holds the bite open to allow for unrestricted forward movement from the finger spring appliance.  Treatment took 2 weeks.
