During the process of growth and development of children, multiple structural changes occur in the facial skeleton, wich are closely related to habits, functions, and individual genetics, among other factors. When an anterior crossbite develops it alters the function of the stomatognathic system, and possibly affects the facial growth pattern and normal jaw development. The objective of the present narrative review is to relate the facial growth pattern in children with anterior crossbite and how it influences in mandibular development.
