Welcome to the “Orthodontic Treatment for Children” section at PDOVA. Here, we explain why orthodontic treatment for children is important—not just for a beautiful smile, but for guiding jaw growth, correcting bite issues, and preventing future oral health problems. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7, when baby and permanent teeth coexist—ideal for identifying concerns like crowding, spacing, or jaw misalignment before they worsen.
