Malocclusion is present in a large part of the population and may interfere with both the function and the aesthetics of the individual. With the passage of time, the prognosis of treatment can be aggravated, and the treatment before the permanent denture has a positive repercussion, reducing the complexity in the interventions later. Thus, the Interceptor Orthodontics seeks to correct the malocclusions by means of early diagnosis and treatment in the deciduous and mixed denture phases. The objective of this study was to report a clinical case of an orthodontic treatment in the mixed denture phase that presented Class II occlusion, division 1, with superior and inferior diastemas and lip interposition. The 10-year-old male patient was referred to the Orthodontics course after being screened by the Faculty of Dentistry of Araçatuba. The diagnosis was complemented by the evaluation of gypsum models, panoramic radiography, cephalometric radiography, cephalometric analysis, extra and intraocular photographs. The interceptor orthodontic treatment was performed by means of the 4x2 mechanics, which includes the installation of orthodontic tubes in the first permanent maxillary molars and brackets in the four upper permanent incisors for the adaptation of orthodontic wires or arches. With the presentation of the clinical case, it will be possible to discuss and ponder about 4x2 treatment modality
