In fact some authors point to a fact that the growth
anteriorly in the dental arch ceased “stopped” when
permanent incisors erupt.
Such crowding ring the bell for many parents to bring their
children to an orthodontist.
c- Early exfoliation of C C
C C
d- Lack of space for 6s.
3- Slight dentoalveolar protrusion.
Procedure:
S.E. is done in 3 stages:-
1- Extraction of Cs as soon as the permanent incisors
complete their eruption, such extraction will allow
spontaneous relief of crowding and in a lot of case the
spaces of Cs are completely engulfed by the lateral
incisors.
2- Extraction of Ds & this is done after an accepted
alignment of the incisors take place 6-10 months later.
The aim of these extractions is to accelerate the eruption of
the permanent 1st premolar.
3- Extraction of permanent first premolar as soon as they
emerge from the oral mucosa, thus allowing the space for
the canines & 2nd premolars to occupy the space mesial
to 6s & distal to 2s.

All the local factors that cause malocclusion and
particularly those who worsen the crowding should be
avoided during the treatment such as presence of S.N.T., as
early loss of primary Es or bad conservative work for the
rest of remaining teeth.
Advantages:
As follow:
1- Immediate relief of crowding or the malocclusion.
2- Less time consuming and low cost especially if at the
end, the teeth arranged with good alignment.
3- Simple procedure.
4- Less duration of wearing orthodontic appliances.
Disadvantages:
As follow:
1- Subject the child to multiple extraction visits, which
may leave a bad impression toward a dentist particularly
if the extraction were done improperly.
2- Painful.
