Early orthodontic treatment in growing children requires the removable orthodontic appliances. The removable orthodontic appliance can be used in the primary dentition and mixed dentition. The purposes of use of removable orthodontic appliance in prmary dentition or mixed dentition are the interception of skeletal or dental malocclusion, guiding the normal dentition, and retention after comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Therefore, it is needed to use the removable orthodontic appliance in children with malocclusion. This report presents cases of growing children with skeletal class II and III malocclusion treated with removable orthodontic appliance during mixed dentition and Multiloop Edgewise Arch Wire(MEAW) during permanent dentition. The results obtained through these cases were summarized as follows : 1. Removable orthodontic appliances guide normal dentition and skeletal growth in growing children. 2. Removable orthodontic appliances play an important role in intercepting malocclusion in mixed dentition before use of fixed orthodontic appliance. 3. MEAW can be applied to finishing stage of all cases and is effective in correction of occlusal plane, achievement of interdigitation, and control of dental inclination. 4. It is needed that removable appliances are used during mixed dentition through correct diagnosis and fixed appliance are used in permanent dentition.

To predict duration of orthodontic treatment of malocclusion, 304 male and female patients whose orthodontic treatment was finished in department of orthodontics, Infirmary of dental college, Chosun University were studied. The duration of treatment was studied according to types of malocclusion, beginning ages of treatment, Hellman's dental ages, the determination of tooth extraction, types of tooth extraction and types of orthodontic appliance. The following results were obtained. 1. The duration of treatment was 18 months in Class I malocclusion, 20 months in Class II malocclusion and 24 months in Class III malocclusion. 2. The more early treatment was done, the more duration of treatment was needed according to beginning age of treatment and Hellman's dental ages. 3. Treatment of tooth extraction case was needed for 78 days more than that of non-extraction case. 4. The duration of treatment with unilateral extraction of premolars was the shortest (598 days) and that with single arch extraction of premolars was the longest (685 days) according to types of tooth extraction. 5. The duration of treatment by removable appliance was the shortest (237 days) and the combination of removable appliance, headgear and full banded appliance was the longest (1425 days) according to types of orthodontic appliance. 6. The duration of treatment was 18 months in typical orthodontic treatment with 4 extraction of premolar and full banded appliance.

There are various types of localized tooth malpositions in the mixed dentition, such as abnormal tooth axis, anterior crossbite of some incisors, impaction, midline diastema, ectopic eruption, and so forth. We, Pediatric Dentists, have usually used removable appliances for these instances. But, removable orthodontic appliances, as is known, have marked limitations in some situations, for example, severe rotation, intrusion and extrusion, root torque, closure of large diastema, traction of impacted tooth, etc. In such cases, Whip spring, combined with fixed or removable appliance, can increase utilities of removable orthodontic appliances. The authors have applied whip springs to some cases showing localized positional and arrangement problems, and have witnessed the results as follows; 1. The refined and elaborate control of direction and magnitude of force by the operator, and accurate compliance of the patients were requisite for the treatment with it. 2. It showed special effectiveness for de rotation of incisors. Although it yields some benefit for root movement, the special consideration for incomplete roots in this age bracket was required. 3. In the localized malalignment cases in mixed dentition, uncurable with traditional removable appliances but practically unrealistic with fixed appliance therapy, the whip spring was thought to be a good alternative.

A clear overlay appliance is a type of a removable appliance made from transparent thermoplastic plastic film that covers the entire dentition to move the teeth. It is one of the most favored orthodontic methods opted for by adult patients; this treatment is esthetic, does not cause discomfort and allows oral hygiene to be easily managed when compared to other conventional fixed treatment methods. However, the use of clear overlay appliances, such as invisalign or clear aligner, is associated with various clinical challenges. In particular, the appliances require longer treatment periods compared to fixed treatment, and due to the structural characteristics of the appliances, it is difficult to make proper posterior occlusion and certain type of tooth movement, including extrusion, rotation and tip. Thus, the clear overlay appliances are regarded as supplementary appliances by most orthodontists and have been used for simple orthodontic treatments, such as partial anterior alignments or orthodontic relapse cases. Owing to the remarkable advancement in the field of 3D digital technology over a period of 15 years, the accuracy and convenience of modern clear overlay appliances have continuously improved. Moreover, orthodontic outcomes have also been greatly improved by the introduction of new materials and successful application of various biomechanical methods from conventional orthodontic treatments in the design of clear overlay appliances. This study investigates the clinical limitations that should be considered during the application of clear overlay appliances and also examines the efforts and methods used to overcome these challenges.

Patients who have impacted tooth are found commonly in orthodontic treatment. Although it is difficult to find the cause of impacted teeth, the most common, causes are prolonged retention of the deciduous teeth, trauma, aberrant sequence of eruption, lack of space and deficiency of Vitamin D. Impacted teeth may lead to esthetic and functional problems and root resorption of adjacent teeth, so we should treat it as soon as possible. Commonly used treatment method is the following: After surgically uncovering of the impacted teeth, a bond of orthodontic appliance is established, and orthodontic traction is started with a removable or fixed appliance. We used the modified lingual arch with a soldered auxiliary appliance in lingual arch for traction of lower impacted teeth. The modified lingual arch could control the magnitude and direction of the applied force with one-arch treatment, and also could give continuous force to impacted tooth without patient patient cooperation. We achieved good results with the modified lingual arch.
