“…In severe malocclusion (31≤DAI≤35), the treatment is highly desirable. For very severe or incapacitating malocclusion (DAI≥36), the treatment is mandatory (13). The variable DAI was dichotomized as without treatment need (DAI≤25) and with treatment need (DAI>25).…”

“…In this context, it becomes paramount to access the self-reported need for orthodontic treatment in order to provide the optimal use of health public resources. It is worth noting that even in those countries where orthodontic treatment is a service provided by public health, the need for treatment indicated by normative criteria is greater than the available resources could supply (13).…”

The aim of this study was to estimate the impact of malocclusion on the oral healthrelated quality of life (OHRQoL) of schoolchildren aged 8-12 years old in Southern Brazil. A two-stage cluster procedure was used to select 1,199 children in 20 public and private schools in Pelotas/Brazil. Cross-sectional data was collected, consisting of a socioeconomic questionnaire to parents, children's interview and clinical oral examination. The clinical variables were obtained from clinical examination, and the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ) was assessed during children's interview. To measure malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need the Dental Aesthetic Index was used. For data analysis multiple Poisson regression models estimating the rate ratios (RR) and their respective confidence intervals (95%CI) were used. Among 1,206 participants, 789 were aged 8-10 years and 417 between 11-12 years. The orthodontic treatment need was higher among the younger children (44.6%) than in the older ones (35.0%) (p value ≤0.05). There was a significant association in the CPQ social and emotional domains with malocclusion in the older schoolchildren. In the adjusted analysis (for socioeconomics and clinical variables) the effect of very severe malocclusion on OHRQoL was confirmed in both 8-10 and 11-12 age groups (RR(95%CI) of 1.24(1.02;1.51) and 1.28(1.01;1.62), respectively). The findings demonstrated that children with very severe malocclusion experienced greater negative impact on OHRQoL compared to those with mild or no malocclusion. The results suggest that malocclusion impacts the quality of life. The higher impact occurs in the social and emotional well-being domains.

Methodology: This study consisted of one hundred and eight cases were selected during this period from orthodontic clinic OPD. Principle investigator reviewed the patients using structured questionnaire. Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire' (PIDAQ) were analyzed to assess the dental aesthetics by using the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI)." Inclusion criteria were patient's aged 25 years and having no previous history of orthodontic treatment. Those patients already on treatment, presence of craniofacial syndromes or anomalies and "Patients with any mental or behavioral disorders that might have reduced their ability for self-determination were excluded. Malocclusion orthodontic treatment recommendations to the priorities assigned to four classes per grade. The first factor is the Dental Self-Confidence that consists of 6 items from the Self-Confidence Scale. Results: A total of 108 patients, both males and females were included in the study. 69(63.88%) out of 108 subjects were males and rest were females 39(36.11%) cases, male to female ratio 1:1.7. The minimum age was 25 years and maximum was 55years but most of the patients were in the range of 25 to 35 years means age was 27+4.7 years. In this study DAI scores were observed, grade-I in 53(49.07%), grade-II in 32(29.62 %), grade-III in 14(12.96 %) and grade-IV in 9(8.33 %). Conclusion: Patients who seek orthodontic treatment are anxious to improve their appearance and approval of the social, more often associated with improved oral work or life."

“…A longitudinal study of 150 children in New Zealand also revealed a fall in orthodontic treatment need which was attributed to over-sensitivity of Index in the mixed dentition period (Chi et al, 2000). Several studies showed the DAI is a valid (Beglin et al, 2001;Spencer et al, 1992;Jenny et al, 1993;Jenny & Cons, 1996a) and reliable index (Jenny et al, 1993). An advantage of the DAI is the use of threshold scores (i.e.…”
