This presentation will identify clinical situations in the primary and mixed dentitions where the benefits of early orthodontic intervention clearly justify the treatment burden. Case presentations will be used to illustrate the timing, mechanics and evidence-based rationale for contemporary early orthodontic treatment . These age-appropriate interventions form a guide to efficient and effective early orthodontic care.
Learning Objectives:
...Identify the clinical indications that warrant early (age-appropriate) orthodontic treatment.
...Discuss the ideal treatment timing for orthodontic problems in the developing dentition.
...Describe treatment options and mechanics to achieve the goals of appropriate orthodontic interventions in the developing dentition.
