Space maintenance
Space regaining

Conclusion
Certain orthodontic problems will benefit from early intervention. When deciding on early orthodontic treatment the orthodontist will assess whether the treatment will provide any significant benefit to the child, especially in the long term. Early intervention is appropriate only where a problem is likely to deteriorate to the extent that correction in the permanent dentition will be compromised, or irreversible damage is likely while waiting to start treatment later.
