Abstract
Timing of orthodontic treatment is a controversial topic among clinicians, showing great diversity
of opinions; some recommending intervention early in the occlusal development, and others arguing in favour
of treatment in the late mixed or early permanent dentition. Early interceptive orthodontic treatment for
elimination of different factors affecting dental arch development, growth of maxilla and mandible is well
debated and has a mixed response among clinicians, possibly because of little scientific evidence that exists to
support such intervention and actual benefit from such early treatment. This article aimed to review various
studies and evaluate the efficacy of early orthodontic intervention and concluded that treatment in the early
mixed dentition is an effective method to restore normal occlusion and eliminate the need for further
orthodontic treatment.
