Childhood caries (ECC) is an infectious disease affecting the primary dentition in infants and children younger than 6 years of age
A previous study has shown that S. mutans or S. sobrinus alone may not be the only indicators for high risk of caries, but the prevalence of S. oralis in saliva may be a risk factor for increased caries activity in severe Early Childhood Caries (ECC) forms [10]
The following case demonstrates the use of the Nance appliance and the Hyrax expander in addition to conventional orthodontic treatment over the course of nine years in order to obtain a Class I (Angle) canine and molar relationship in a child with severe early childhood caries
