[Early orthodontic treatment]
Abstract:
Early orthodontic treatment has recently become a subject of great interest among orthodontists since it is the result of the closest approach between the American and the European orthodontic trends. The early orthodontic treatment emerged from the better knowledge and deeper study of the philosophy of the functional, orthopedic and removable appliances as well as from the verification of their effectiveness, especially during childhood. An analysis of the term "Early orthodontic treatment" is being done in this study in contrast to the term "Early orthodontic management". Timing of orthodontic management of dentofacial deformities is quoted. The main points of a successful early orthodontic treatment as well as advantages and disadvantages, positive and negative criteria of it are mentioned.
