Orthodontic Intervention in Mixed Dentition

Bys: Reddy, Dr E. Rajendra, Begum, S. Farheen, Haritha, K.

Mixed dentition (6-12 years) is the stage when both primary and permanent teeth are present. It is an important period for early detection and management of malocclusions. Orthodontic intervention helps guide normal dental and skeletal development, prevent worsening of problems, and reduce future treatment needs. Common issues include crowding, spacing, crossbites, skeletal discrepancies, oral habits, and premature tooth loss. Early treatment using space maintainers, functional appliances, and interceptive procedures can improve occlusion, facial growth, function, aesthetics, and long-term stability. Therefore, mixed dentition is a critical stage for preventive and interceptive orthodontic care.
