Abstract:

Understanding the etiology and mechanism of early malocclusion and the characteristics of craniofacial growth and development is a necessary prerequisite for scientific early treatment. Clarifying the basic principles of early orthodontic treatment is conducive to the coordinated development of the orognathic system.In order to improve the success rate of early treatment and reduce the difficulty of orthodontic sequential treatment in the future, it is necessary to identify indications of temporary malocclusion and early treatment with bad prognosis. This article starts from the basic concept, in order to provide guidance for clinical practice.

Key words: malocclusion, early treatment, growth and development, interception, prevention
