Orthodontic prevention and treatment timing improves quality of life in children, indicating the need for effective, evidence-based therapeutic methods.
Prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment timing are key factors in paediatric orthodontics. Timely preventive orthodontic treatment can correct skeletal and dental discrepancies, reduce trauma risk, and improve quality of life. Clinical decisions must be evidence-based and personalised, avoiding unnecessary overtreatment. Therapeutic methods must be effective and efficient in achieving the treatment goals and, above all, must not interfere with the health of growing patients.
