Early orthodontic intervention plays a vital role in shaping long-term dentofacial health. Occlusal development begins in the womb and continues into early adulthood, but it is during the mixed dentition phase-typically around 7 to 8 years of age-that key orthodontic issues become evident and most treatable. This book highlights the importance of early assessment, timely referrals, and interceptive treatment in managing malocclusion and skeletal discrepancies. Special focus is given to maxillary hypoplasia, palatal expansion techniques, and the evolving shift in parental and clinical approaches from reactive care to proactive guidance. Grounded in current evidence and clinical insight, it advocates for intercept and monitor as the new standard in pediatric orthodontic care.
