“…The grading of dental aesthetics has been considered rather subjective due to individual variation in the acceptance of dental features ( 2 ). According to previous studies, laypersons’ perceptions of dental aesthetics may differ from professionals’ assessment ( 15 , 20–22 ). However, in this study, the aesthetic evaluations of layperson and orthodontist panels were parallel to the AC evaluations, and their associations with OHRQoL and satisfaction with aesthetics did not remarkably differ from those of AC.…”

“…Satisfaction with aesthetics and OHRQoL are influenced by environmental/cultural norms, including aesthetic acceptability and perception and sociocultural importance of dental aesthetics, as well as treatment availability ( 5 , 11 , 17 , 19 , 20 ). A recent study comparing Finnish and Brazilian adult populations confirmed the view that cultural factors influence the psychosocial impacts of dental aesthetics ( 42 ).…”

“…The evaluation of dental aesthetics is complex and affected by culture and social environment and the measures used ( 18–20 ), and it may also differ between patients, laypersons, and dental professionals ( 15 , 20–22 ). Dental professionals use standardized methods or measures when evaluating dental appearance and orthodontic treatment need ( 18 , 23 ).…”

Summary Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the gender-specific associations between dental aesthetics, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and satisfaction with dental aesthetics in an adult population. Materials and methods The study population consisted of 1780 individuals (822 males and 958 females) from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC1966). Dental aesthetics were evaluated from digital 3D dental models using the Aesthetic Component (AC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). Layperson and orthodontist panels evaluated the dental aesthetics of a smaller sample (n = 100). OHRQoL was measured using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire. Satisfaction with dental aesthetics was asked with one separate question. Gender-specific analyses consisted of Mann–Whitney U-tests and Spearman’s correlation coefficients. Results More than half of the population had an aesthetically acceptable occlusion, and most of the individuals were satisfied with the aesthetics. The most severe aesthetic impairments were associated with the psychological dimensions of OHIP-14. There were significant but weak associations of AC and satisfaction with aesthetics, and satisfaction with aesthetics and OHRQoL. Significant gender differences were found, men having higher mean AC scores but women reporting lower OHRQoL. Conclusion At the population level, most of the individuals were satisfied with their aesthetics, despite different dental aesthetic conditions. The most severe aesthetic impairments were associated with decreased psychological well-being, women reporting more impacts compared to men.

“…However, there are limited studies evaluating the relationship between facial attractiveness and malocclusion [ 10 , 26 , 27 ]. Generally, a VAS scale is used in studies that assess the aesthetics of the smile and face [ 18 , 28 ]. There are multiple factors that influence smile aesthetics (e.g., gingival level, tooth axis, lower lip curvature) and multiple factors that affect facial aesthetics (e.g., eye, nose, face shape) [ 29 , 30 ].…”

“…In the current study, no statistically significant difference was found between orthodontists and laypersons in photographs of maxillary anterior crowding, regardless of the level of facial attractiveness. Interestingly, in a survey study conducted in Japan, orthodontic patients and laypeople found people with anterior crowding to be attractive [ 18 ]. This result demonstrates how social differences can influence perceptions of attractiveness.…”

Introduction The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between levels of facial attractiveness and the perception of different types of malocclusion. Methods A preliminary questionnaire was used to assign photographs of three female patients to low, moderate, and high facial attractiveness designations. Seven modified photographs for each smile photograph of each of these three patients were created. The evaluated photographs were as follows: P0: at rest position, P1: ideal smile, P2: − 2-mm (low) smile line, P3: + 4-mm gummy smile, P4: + 6-mm gummy smile, P5: maxillary anterior crowding, P6: median diastema, P7: polydiastema. An eye tracking device and a questionnaire were used to collect data from orthodontists, dentists, orthodontic patients, and laypeople. Results Total fixation duration varied depending on the type of malocclusion, the level of facial attraction, and the participants’ occupations. In general, orthodontists and dentists had higher total fixation duration scores than orthodontic patients and laypersons. The maxillary anterior crowding photograph had the lowest visual analysis scale score at each attractiveness level (low, medium, and high). Visual analysis scale scores became similar at each attractiveness level only in the P4 photographs, and thus the difference in facial attractiveness disappeared. Conclusion While a worsening of the ideal smile had a smaller impact on aesthetic perceptions in an individual with low facial attractiveness, it had a significant negative impact on a person with high facial attractiveness. Anterior crowding and diastema had a more negative impact on facial attractiveness than low or high smile lines.
