When treating posterior crossbite, the primary goal is to achieve long-term crossbite correction. The majority of studies however focus on relapse of the increase in the transverse dimension, but not relapse of the crossbite itself, which is an essential outcome. The aim of the present study was to determine long-term stability (2 years minimum post-treatment) of posterior crossbite correction, treated in mixed or early permanent dentitions of growing children. Following registration in PROSPERO (CRD42022348858), an electronic literature search including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and a manual search were conducted up to January 2023, to identify longitudinal studies looking into the long-term stability of crossbite correction in growing children. Data extraction and risk of bias assessment were carried out, and subsequently, a random-effects meta-analyses models were used to calculate estimates for relapse of the crossbite and relapse at the transverse level. Twenty-two studies were included, of varying designs and quality, representing 1076 treated patients, with different expansion appliances and protocols. Meta-analysis results showed that 19.5% (95% CI: 15%; 25%) of patients present with relapse of posterior crossbite at long-term follow-up. At the transverse level, 19.3% of the total expansion (including overexpansion) relapsed (95% CI: 13%; 27%) regardless of whether there a was relapse of the crossbite itself. Data from existing studies, with a moderate level of evidence, indicate that the long-term stability of posterior crossbite correction in growing children is unfavourable in roughly 1 in 5 growing children, with crossbite relapse long-term. On average, 19% of the maxillary expansion performed (including overexpansion) relapses long-term, which may occur in cases with or without relapse of the crossbite.
