Abstract:
Mixed dentition treatment is an important subject because early treatment could not only correct the occlusion but also may ensure normal development of the teeth. Proper arch form and dental relationships in the mixed dentition lessen the need for additional orthodontic treatment. The objectives in mixed dentition orthodontic therapy are to correct dental arch irregularities, occlusal and jaw relation abnormalities, and to eliminate functional interferences.
