Problems of normal growth of the jaws, normal eruption patterns in the transitional dentition and normal development of occlusion need to be addressed.   Intercepting these problems in young children is a rewarding part of an orthodontic practice.  This requires non-invasive treatment and practice management techniques in a patient friendly environment.  Cases and techniques will be shown to illustrate treatment of this patient base.
