Mixed dentition stage is a period of transition from primary teeth to permanent teeth. It is considered as one of the most crucial age for orthodontic treatment because of growth. Orthodontic treatment can be done as early as 7 years. Early correction of malocclusion can also ensure a proper growth and development. One of the appliances which can intercept the early malocclusion is the two by four appliance (2 × 4 appliance).
