Abstract:
Early orthodontic treatment is an important means of preventing and treating dentofacial deformities during the period of growth and development. In this stage, children have great potential in growth and development, high adaptability of muscles and temporomandibular joint, and good responsiveness to orthodontic force. Therefore, orthodontic intervention and treatment in this stage can prevent and guide the normal growth and development of dentition, occlusion and maxillofacial complex. This article summarizes the commonly used orthodontic techniques and appliances in the mixed dentition, including interceptive treatment of oral habits, application of functional appliances, fixed appliances, clear aligners, as well as management of severe crowding and space maintenance. This article comprehensively explains the application and indications of different orthodontic techniques in design and appliance selection in the treatment of malocclusions in the mixed dentition.
