“…92 There have been a small number of longitudinal studies, all of which have found an improvement in OHQoL following orthodontic treatment. 42,[93][94][95][96] Furthermore, a case controlled study also reported fewer physical, psychological and social impacts on daily performance associated with a malocclusion, in patients that had received Orthodontic treatment, compared to those who had not. 97 There is still a vigorous debate in the research community about the concept of OHQoL, what OHQoL questionnaires measure and how they should be used in the future.…”

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.

“…11 Previous research using the OHIP reported that some of the questions did not show significant improvement by orthodontic treatment 34 or significant difference between the orthodontically treated group and the untreated group. 28 In our specialty, we need more conditionspecific measures that focus on esthetic impairment.…”

Objective: To evaluate the effect of dental crowding and lip protrusion on self-esteem and quality of life (QOL) in female orthodontic patients with Class I malocclusion. Materials and Methods: The study sample consisted of 201 patients (mean age 22.6 6 3.0 years) who sought orthodontic treatment. All the patients were evaluated before treatment in terms of their degree of dental crowding and lip protrusion. Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale and the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) were used to determine self-esteem and QOL and to evaluate whether these values were related to malocclusion severity. Results: The results indicated that severe crowding and severe protrusion can result in lower selfesteem and poorer QOL (P , .05) than mild crowding and protrusion in Class I malocclusion. In the oral function component of the OQLQ, the severity of protrusion did not have significant effect. Conclusions: In Class I malocclusion, patients with mild crowding or protrusion had significantly better self-esteem and QOL scores than severe crowding or protrusion patients.

“…2,[7][8][9] The high prevalence rates in different populations demonstrate that malocclusion is a public health problem that requires the planning and implementation of intervention strategies. 10,11 While orthodontic treatment is an effective manner to treat different types of malocclusion 12,13 and can lead to an improvement in quality of life, 4,13,14 the desire to undergo treatment has been explored little in the scientific literature. This desire seems to be influenced by social and cultural characteristics in different populations [15][16][17][18] as well as gender, self-perceived esthetics and function, 1,[19][20][21] and malocclusion severity.…”
