“…In order to assess bullying, five studies used the same modified questionnaire from Shaw et al [ 26 ] by Al Bitar et al, in 2013 [ 22 , 28 , 29 , 32 , 33 ], two used the Olweus Bullying/Victim Questionnaire [ 30 , 31 ]; Ramos et al [ 9 ] used the questionnaire used in the National Survey of School Health (PeNSE), Gatto et al [ 7 ] used the Kidscape Questionnaire, Duarte Rodrigues et al [ 34 ] used a question from the CPQ8-10, Bazan-Serrano et al [ 35 ] used a questionnaire from Oliveros et al [ 36 ], Rwakatema et al [ 37 ] used a questionnaire from Ng’ang’a et al [ 38 ] and Onyeaso et al [ 39 ] used a modified questionnaire from Helm [ 20 ]. Seven of the studies used individual arrangement questionnaires [ 20 , 21 , 24 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ], and Alanko et al [ 8 ] used a structured diary.…”

“…Eight of the selected articles mentioned a practitioner’s assessment of the malocclusion, using the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) for five of them [ 7 , 9 , 33 , 34 , 39 ], the Aesthetic Component (AC) of the Orthodontic Treatment Need Index (IOTN) for four of them [ 8 , 9 , 30 , 31 ], associated with the Dental Health Component (DHC) of the IOTN for two of them [ 30 , 31 ] or with a patient’s self-perceived need for orthodontic treatment assessment using a modified IOTN-AC scale [ 8 ].…”

“…Among these deviations, malocclusion is one of the most common oral disorders and can be defined as a significant discrepancy from the ideal occlusion involving a condition of imbalance in the position of the teeth, facial bones and soft tissues [ 6 ]. Even if it is not considered a disease, orthodontic treatments are proven to be necessary to treat both functional and aesthetic alterations and prevent traumatic risks [ 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

Bullying occurs when an individual is repeatedly victimised by negative actions performed by peers. As oral features, like malocclusion and dental structural defects, can promote psychological distress, which is also found in those who are bullied, we aimed to study the association between orofacial conditions and bullying. A systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42022331693), including articles dealing with bullying and dentofacial traits, was performed following the PRISMA chart. The iterative search of eligible publications was carried out on 27 March 2023 on four databases (PubMed, PubPsych, Web of Science and Cochrane Reviews) and in the grey literature. Among the 25 articles included, 4 referred to qualitative studies, which analysed 632 interviews with children, 8 interviews with parents, 292 letters, and 321 Twitter posts. The other 21 were cross-sectional studies, which included 10,026 patients from 7 to 61 years old. Two of the qualitative studies and seven of the cross-sectional studies rated a low risk of bias, according to Joanna Briggs Institute’s Critical Appraisal Tools. The majority of studies (88%) reported a relationship between malocclusion or structural defects and exposure to bullying among young adolescents. Structural dental abnormalities and severe malocclusion should be managed, among others, for psychological questions because they crystallise the loss of self-confidence and increase the risk of bullying.

“…Also, previous studies found that orthodontic patients are more concerned with aesthetic and social issues than with interference with daily tasks [ 37 ]. However, some studies have shown no relationship between malocclusion and self-consciousness or shame [ 38 ].…”

Background The objective of this study was to explore and compare patient’s experience with the use of a removable functional appliance or fixed orthodontic appliance and its influence on oral health-related quality of life. Material and methods This clinical trial included 81 participants having Class II Division 1 and age ranging between 10 and 16 years. The participants were included in any of a three equal groups according to the set inclusion and exclusion criteria; Group 1: patients treated with a Twin-Block functional appliance; Group 2: patients treated with a fixed orthodontic appliance only; and Group 3 (control group): patients not in orthodontic treatment yet. The COHIP SF-19 was used. Patients were given the questionnaire as follows: Group 1: (1) after at least 8 months from starting treatment; (2) after completing phase 1 by 2–3 months without wearing the appliance; Group 2: (1) just before debonding; (2) after finishing the treatment by 2–3 months without any appliances; and Group 3: (1) at the patient’s first visit to the orthodontic clinic; (2) after 2–3 months from the first visit to the orthodontic clinic and before starting any treatment. Results The 81 participants were 31 males and 50 females with median age of 13 years. The total COHIP SF-19 scores at baseline were 57 (49–64), 67 (63–72), and 47 (42–53) for the Twin-Block, the fixed appliance, and the malocclusion groups, respectively. Two-month mean scores adjusted to the baseline scores were 64.82 ± 1.15, 65.65 ± 1.47, and 54.45 ± 1.44 for the Twin-Block, the fixed appliance, and the malocclusion groups, respectively. Conclusions Both at baseline and two-months (adjusted to the baseline scores), participants in the malocclusion group showed compromised socio-emotional quality of life and reported the poorest total OHRQoL. At the baseline, better socio-emotional and total OHRQoL was reported by the fixed appliance group compared to the Twin-Block group but, after two months both groups gave similar sores. Therefore; patients’ perceptions about their experience with the orthodontic appliance might change.

“… 43 Apart from physical health, malocclusion, especially those leading to a poor facial appearance, affects children’s psychological health, forming low self-esteem. Increased overjet and deep bite, space between anterior teeth, and extremely misaligned teeth are potential reasons for children to be teased, 44 – 46 causing the affected person isolated from the social activities and difficult to interact with others.…”

Malocclusion, identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of three major oral diseases, profoundly impacts the dental-maxillofacial functions, facial esthetics, and long-term development of ~260 million children in China. Beyond its physical manifestations, malocclusion also significantly influences the psycho-social well-being of these children. Timely intervention in malocclusion can foster an environment conducive to dental-maxillofacial development and substantially decrease the incidence of malocclusion or reduce the severity and complexity of malocclusion in the permanent dentition, by mitigating the negative impact of abnormal environmental influences on the growth. Early orthodontic treatment encompasses accurate identification and treatment of dental and maxillofacial morphological and functional abnormalities during various stages of dental-maxillofacial development, ranging from fetal stages to the early permanent dentition phase. From an economic and societal standpoint, the urgency for effective early orthodontic treatments for malocclusions in childhood cannot be overstated, underlining its profound practical and social importance. This consensus paper discusses the characteristics and the detrimental effects of malocclusion in children, emphasizing critical need for early treatment. It elaborates on corresponding core principles and fundamental approaches in early orthodontics, proposing comprehensive guidance for preventive and interceptive orthodontic treatment, serving as a reference for clinicians engaged in early orthodontic treatment.
