Abstract

The prevention of the malcoolusion and the control of dental spaces are problem are in the scope of preventive Orthodontics. The supervision of caries control, teeth eruption sequence and the treatment of the local factors which may influence the eruption of the permanent tooth are done during this period. With the recent improvement in diagnostic tools, novel potential therapeutic devices and techniques it is now easier for the orthodontist to adopt several techniques in the clinic to prevent the occurrence of malocclusion. However, the most significant barrier to providing the preventive orthodontic care by the practitioners may be related to the lack of self-confidence relating to the effectiveness of their chosen treatment plan. When preventive dentistry is practiced properly it helps in the proper development of functional occlusion and reduces the chance of the development of malocclusion. This article will focus on various aspects of preventive orthodontics.
