Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the dental clinic of the University of Salamanca in 2020\u20132022. The study selected a consecutive sample of 140 children with asthma (52.1% girls; 47.9% boys). This study used the Orthodontic Treatment Needs Index (OTN) to analyze the need for orthodontic treatment and the Children\u2019s Perception Questionnaire (CPQ11\u201314) to assess OHRQoL. Results: Sex and age did not significantly influence the need for orthodontic treatment, although age may be considered influential for OHRQoL concerning oral symptoms (p &lt; 0.01), functional limitations (p &lt; 0.05), and total score on the CPQ11\u201314 questionnaire (p &lt; 0.05): the younger the age, the greater the effect of the need for orthodontic treatment on OHRQoL. The social well-being of the patients was much more significantly impacted by the need for orthodontic treatment (15.7 \u00b1 1.91) than by oral symptoms (7.64 \u00b1 1.39), which were the least impacted. In all parts of the CPQ11\u201314 questionnaire and in the patients\u2019 total scores, we observed significant agreement (p &lt; 0.01) that treatment influenced OHRQoL. Conclusion: An inverse relationship exists between the severity of the treatment needed and OHRQoL.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children10020176","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,18]],"date-time":"2023-01-18T01:57:57Z","timestamp":1674007077000},"page":"176","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Assessment of Orthodontic Treatment Need and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Asthmatic Children Aged 11 to 14 Years Old: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4403-4216","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adri\u00e1n","family":"Curto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Dentistry, Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Salamanca, Alfonso X El Sabio Avenue s\/n, 37007 Salamanca, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2290-760X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"F\u00e1tima","family":"Mihit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Salamanca, Alfonso X El Sabio Avenue s\/n, 37007 Salamanca, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Curto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, 12 de Octubre University Hospital, C\u00f3rdoba Avenue s\/n, 28041 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6857-7629","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Albaladejo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthodontics, Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Salamanca, Alfonso X El Sabio Avenue s\/n, 37007 Salamanca, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"386","article-title":"Study of the obsesity and overweight as a risk factor for asthma and severity of the asthma in children of Valencia (Spain)","volume":"20","year":"2005","journal-title":"Nutr.
