The most common malocclusion presented during primary dentition are anterior crossbite and deep overbite. If the primary dentition does not show severe skeletal discrepancy, it is possible to treat malocclusion using pre-fabricated myofunctional appliance that is easily applied to children. By improving the malocclusion in the primary dentition, normalization of the oral muscle function can be induced. In addition, the normal occlusion of the primary incisor region and ideal position of the lips can make a desirable occlusal relationship at the transition of incisors. If factors such as growth pattern, patient cooperation, and post-treatment maintenance are carefully judged and implemented, the interceptive treatment of primary dentition can contribute to normal growth and development.
