“…14 A third group can also be identified who are, concurrently, aggressors and victims, generally presenting extroverted and aggressive behavior. [14][15][16] In the adolescent population, there is significant judgment of physical aspects such as occlusal conditions, which may trigger bullying. Malocclusion can be a source of nicknames, harassment, or teasing, with emotional and social impact.…”

Objectives To assess the correlation between malocclusion and a history of bullying. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional study of 494 adolescents aged 12 to 15 years was conducted. The National School Health Survey questionnaire (PeNSE 1 and 2) was used to determine history of bullying by identifying the victim and the abuser. Variables were evaluated based on the individual (age), environment (income, father's and mother's education, housing, government assistance, and parents' occupation), social and emotional well-being (CPQ11–14 domains), self-perceived need for orthodontic treatment, and clinical conditions (crowding, diastema, maxillary and mandibular overjet, and anterior open bite). Data were analyzed by Spearman correlation and by multivariate analysis, which allowed graphical representation of the eight variables studied in only two dimensions. Results There was no correlation between bullying and variables related to the individual and the environment. Maxillary overjet and self-perception related to the need for orthodontic treatment were important to explain the data variability. Conclusions Malocclusion did not correlate with bullying history. However, increased maxillary overjet influences adolescent self-perception, suggesting a potential condition for bullying events.

Dental aesthetics are becoming increasingly important nowadays.…”

Adolescents with bad malocclusion can more often be victims of bullying and the improvement of their facial appearance through oral rehabilitation is nowadays an important issue. The aim of this case report was to describe the orthodontic treatment in a teenager with a dentoskeletal malocclusion exposed to bullying to correct his occlusal problems and improve facial esthetics and quality of life. The patient, a boy aged 13.5 years, had a class II, division 1, malocclusion with hyperdivergent pattern, mandibular asymmetry, constricted maxillary arch and molar crossbite, increased overjet, lower mild crowding and lip sucking. A two-phase approach was necessary to achieve proper occlusion, better esthetics and promote the patient's self-esteem with consequent greater serenity of his family.

“…Even though it has been demonstrated that teeth, especially projected incisors, are the main cause for bullying among children, 3 there is very little information on how malocclusions impact quality of life during the mixed dentition. In a recent study, Brazilian children aged 8 to 10 years had the severity of their malocclusion classified by the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI), while the quality of life was evaluated by the CPQC8-10 questionnaire.…”
