“…Within this age range, in the beginning of adolescence, social life becomes more intense and the appearance becomes more important for the young teenagers, and such characteristics are closely related to the emotional wellbeing. It should be considered that certain occlusal conditions, like visible malocclusions, excessive overjet with incomplete lip closure, crowded incisors, and large diastema between incisors, may result in children teasing and bullying (8). This affects their social and emotional well-being, and results in a lower self-esteem (21).…”

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.

“…It has been shown that malocclusions are related to the occurrence of bullying, and that the teasing from others due to the teeth appearance influences the self-reported need for orthodontic treatment (8).…”

“…1 Recent media coverage including national campaigns and social networking sites within the United Kingdom have focused on the issue and brought it into the public domain. Its extent is further highlighted by the finding that between 1997 and 1998, 17% of all calls received by Childline were related to bullying.…”

Bullying in schoolchildren – its relationship to dental appearance and psychosocial implications: an update for GDPs

“…Through a logistic regression analysis it was possible to calculate that people with malocclusion class II and III are more likely to have a negative impact on quality of life than individuals with class I. This was probably due to the fact that individuals with most severe malocclusions are more likely to suffer physical and psychosocial problems [38] such as dental traumas [39] and bullying [40] which directly interfere with the quality of life. A metaanalysis on the social effects of bullying associated with malocclusion suggested that victims suffer from psychological problems [41], and the present study shows that physical pain and psychological discomfort, followed by psychological disability (Figure 03), were the items that caused the greatest negative impact on quality of life.…”

Introduction:The concept of quality of life is related to the individuals perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the type of malocclusion affects the perception of quality and satisfaction with people's lives. Three questionnaires were applied: the first one assessed the social and economic factors and the diagnosis of malocclusion through Angle´s classification, the second was the OHIP-14, and the third was the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS).Results: This study involved 444 patients aged 18 to 72 years. According to the classification of malocclusion 48.65% was Class I, 22.75% was Class II division 1, 12.16% was Class II division 2 and Class III 16.44%. The malocclusion did not have negative impact on the level of satisfaction with life, but in all dimensions analyzed by OHIP-14, malocclusion had negative impact on quality of life and was statistically significant. The most severe malocclusions such as Class II and Class III represent a more negative impact when compared to Class I malocclusion. Moreover, for the dimensions assessed by the OHIP-14, physical pain and psychological discomfort were those who showed a greater negative impact on quality of life. Conclusions:Malocclusions do not interfere with the judgment of the level of satisfaction with life, but they produce a negative impact on quality of life.
