“…This probably happens because both patients and caregivers overestimate the perceived need for orthodontic treatment in the hope of receiving such a treatment (3), in addition to the fact that orthodontic appliances have been associated with status or social trends (16). Also, society and media reinforce facial stereotypes on a daily basis, thus creating social patterns and beauty values which serve as important external factors in promoting the interest in orthodontic treatment (14,24).…”

Abstract:The objective of the present study was to evaluate the interest of both children and parents towards orthodontic treatment and compare it to the normative treatment need as well as to determine the factors related to such an interest. The sample consisted of 407 schoolchildren aged between 9 and 12 years and their parents from Nova Friburgo (Rio de Janeiro), Brazil. The orthodontic concern expressed by children and parents was obtained by means of a questionnaire. The normative need was evaluated using two components of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). Data analysis involved multiple logistic regression. Normative treatment need was greater than the children's self-perceived treatment need. The parents expressed more interest towards orthodontic treatment of their children than the children themselves. The orthodontic concern expressed by both groups was greater than the normative need for orthodontic treatment, and such a finding was associated with gender of the children (female) and self-perceived treatment need expressed by them. The lack of a relationship between the normative treatment need and the orthodontic concern of children and parents shows that such assessments should be performed when orthodontic treatment is indicated, particularly in terms of public health, as the demand is greater than the services supplied.

“…Several well-designed studies, using qualitative research methods have confirmed that young people with malocclusion, who seek orthodontic treatment, are dissatisfied with and have a sense of shame about the appearance of their teeth. [44][45][46] This perceived feeling of being unattractive and different to other people is made worse by the expression of supposed societal norms, through peer group pressure and images in the media. The awkwardness that young people feel about the appearance of their teeth leads to various coping strategies in social situations, including not showing their teeth when they smile, avoiding having their photograph taken and embarrassment when their photographs are shared through social media.…”

SummaryOrthodontic treatment is as popular as ever. Orthodontists frequently have long lists of people wanting treatment and the cost to the NHS in England was £261m in 2013-14 (approximately 11% of the NHS annual spend on dentistry). It is important that clinicians and healthcare commissioners constantly question the contribution of interventions towards improving the health of the population. In this article the authors outline some of the evidence for and against the claims that people with a malocclusion are at a disadvantage compared with those without a malocclusion and that orthodontic treatment has significant health benefits. The authors would like to point out that this is not a comprehensive and systematic review of the entire scientific literature. Rather the evidence is presented in order to stimulate discussion and debate.

“…Assessment of social media content plays an important role in understanding the motivation factors, expectations, and experiences of orthodontic patients. 11 In the literature, there are a limited number of studies examining the relationship between social media and orthodontics. However, there are no studies investigating the information about lingual orthodontic treatment through social media.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the quality of information offered for patients seeking information on lingual orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: YouTubee was searched for videos about lingual orthodontic treatment using the key word ''lingual braces'' from the Google Trends application. One hundred and four videos were selected to be analyzed from the first 120 results. The video content was evaluated using a 10-point score, which was used for classifying low-and high-content video groups. The video information and quality index (VIQI) was applied to determine the quality of the videos. The Mann-Whitney U-test, Chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis were used, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated for statistical evaluations. Results: We classified 32 videos as high-content and 72 as low-content. Most videos were uploaded by laypeople (58.7%, n ¼ 61). Definition of lingual braces and psychological impact were the most commonly discussed topics (51.0%), followed by speech performance (47
