Several treatment procedures have been proposed to treat scissors-bite in the molars:
intermaxillary cross-elastic, (1) multi-bracket appliance, transpalatal arch appliance (TPA) with intra-maxillary elastic, (2-3) and lingual arch appliance with intra-maxillary elastic.
Intermaxillary Relation Establish in Bitting Power.
Postoperative radiographs of the study subjects were obtained after a period of
intermaxillary fixation.
Intraoral manipulations during placing and removing
intermaxillary fixation wire with the interim splint contribute to the appliance failure during surgery [3].
Alkofide and Hashim26 studied the
intermaxillary tooth size discrepancy in Saudi population.
Accurate measuring of bite force is difficult and compounded by a number of interrelated factors, such as the occlusion, the presence of dental diseases, the architecture of the occlusal surfaces and the
intermaxillary space (Abu Alhaija et al, 2010).

Intermaxillary fixation and restoration with mandibular or palatal prostheses are among many of the methods considered for reducing or eliminating mandibular deviation.
Traditional methods, such as torque and tip-back bending,
intermaxillary elastics, extraoral force, transpalatal arch, or Nance appliance can be used to enhance the orthodontic anchorage (5, 6).
