Abstract：It’s a long process for children from birth to the establishment of permanent teeth dentition. During this pe-riod,caries,teeth dysplasia and oral bad habits etc.,will af-fect the growth of the teeth,occlusion and facial,resulting in the malocclusion. Taking early treatment for the children in the peak of growth will simplify complex issues and get the best treatment results,block the development of malocclusion with a relatively simple treatment in a relatively short period, and guide the normal growth of the teeth,occlusion and fa-cial. According to children's growth characteristics and based on the law of growth and development,early diagnosis and treatment should be carried out. Early treatment may be part of the whole treatment plans,and most of the children often need conventional orthodontic treatment after period of re-placed teeth. Early treatment in mixed dentition period is a part of orthodontic treatment from mixed dentition period to permanent teeth dentition.
