1Department of Orthodontics, Capital Medical University School of Stomatology, Beijing 100050, China.
Summary
Early orthodontic treatment during mixed dentition leverages growth potential to prevent and correct dentofacial deformities. This review covers key techniques and appliances for optimal outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Pediatric Dentistry
Context:
- Mixed dentition presents a critical window for orthodontic intervention.
- Children exhibit high adaptability during growth and development.
- Early treatment guides normal development of dentition and maxillofacial structures.
Purpose:
- To summarize orthodontic techniques and appliances for mixed dentition.
- To explain the application and indications of various treatments.
- To guide appliance selection for malocclusion management.
Summary:
- Early orthodontic treatment utilizes growth potential for preventing and treating dentofacial deformities.
- Commonly used techniques include interceptive oral habit treatment, functional appliances, fixed appliances, and clear aligners.
- Management of severe crowding and space maintenance are also discussed.
Impact:
- Optimizes orthodontic intervention during the crucial mixed dentition phase.
- Provides comprehensive guidance on appliance selection and treatment design.
- Aims to improve long-term outcomes for dentofacial development.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
3.0K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
