Abstract: Development of normal occlusal relationship is prevented by premature loss of deciduous teeth due to caries or any other iatrogenic factors. The severity of developing malocclusion and complex orthodontic treatments are minimized or reduced by interceptive orthodontics which further may help in reducing the overall treatment time. The present case demonstrates use of King appliance in 11 year old patient to gain the space lost between first permanent premolar and first permanent molar to allow the eruption of permanent second premolar into the oral cavity.
