[Timely and appropriately performing early orthodontic treatment].

In recent years, the early orthodontic treatment of malocclusion has become a hot issue in the field of orthodontics. Some new phenomena and new problems that have emerged require in-depth analysis and discussion, and need to be given correct guidance and norms. Malocclusion refers to the deformities of teeth, jaws, and craniofacial bones caused by genetic and environmental factors during growth and development. Based on the accurate judgment of the etiology and diagnosis, choosing the right time and suitable indications, with the advantage of growth and development, the most suitable appliance can be selected in the early stage of malocclusion to fix malocclusion, and to effectively prevent and block the formation and development of malocclusion. This article will discuss how to timely and appropriately carry out the early prevention and treatment of malocclusion with six aspects, including methods of performing early orthodontic treatment, the basis and guarantee of early orthodontic treatment, correctly understanding early orthodontic treatment, the issues that should be paid attention to in carrying out early orthodontic treatment, actively advocating multidisciplinary cooperation during early orthodontic treatment and understanding face management in a serious way.近年，错（牙合）畸形的早期矫治成为正畸领域的热点问题，随之出现的一些新现象和新问题需要深入分析和讨论，更需要给予正确的引导和规范。错（牙合）畸形是指在生长发育过程中，由遗传和环境因素导致的牙齿、颌骨、颅面畸形。临床可在准确分析病因和正确诊断的基础上，选择合适的时机和适合的适应证，借助生长发育优势，在错（牙合）畸形形成初期选择合适的矫治器，纠正错（牙合）畸形，有效预防和阻断错（牙合）畸形的形成与发展。本文从如何开展正畸治疗、开展早期矫治的基础和保障、如何正确理解和认识错（牙合）畸形早期矫治、开展早期矫治应关注的问题、积极倡导错（牙合）畸形早期矫治的多学科合作与协作，以及以科学和严谨的态度看待“颜面管理”六方面，探讨如何适时、适宜、适度地开展错（牙合）畸形的早期防与治。.
