title: The developing occlusion of children and young people in general practice: when to watch and when to refer.
abstract: This paper discusses the assessment of the developing occlusions of children and adolescents in the general practice setting; that is, reviewing the potential of interceptive orthodontics. In particular we will illustrate the management of these individuals with case examples. We have also provided a handy pull-out guide with this issue of the Journal which can be used in the GDP's surgery for quick reference.
