Early orthodontic treatment is an important means of preventing and treating dentofacial deformities during the period of growth and development. In this stage, children have great potential in growth and development, high adaptability of muscles and temporomandibular joint, and good responsiveness to orthodontic force. Therefore, orthodontic intervention and treatment in this stage can prevent and guide the normal growth and development of dentition, occlusion and maxillofacial complex. This article summarizes the commonly used orthodontic techniques and appliances in the mixed dentition, including interceptive treatment of oral habits, application of functional appliances, fixed appliances, clear aligners, as well as management of severe crowding and space maintenance. This article comprehensively explains the application and indications of different orthodontic techniques in design and appliance selection in the treatment of malocclusions in the mixed dentition.
早期正畸治疗是在生长发育阶段预防和治疗牙颌面畸形的重要手段。在此阶段，儿童生长发育潜力巨大，肌肉和颞下颌关节适应性高，对正畸力反应良好。因此，此阶段的正畸干预和治疗可预防并引导牙列、咬合及颌面复合体的正常生长发育。本文总结了混合牙列期常用的正畸技术和矫治器，包括口腔不良习惯的阻断性治疗、功能矫治器的应用、固定矫治器、隐形矫治器，以及严重拥挤的处理和间隙保持。本文全面阐述了不同正畸技术在混合牙列期错颌畸形治疗的设计和矫治器选择中的应用及适应证。
