“…This corroborates studies which found that those patients who rated themselves as aesthetically bad were far more likely to have a negative effect on quality of life than those who were satisfied with their aesthetics [20] [21]. These same findings were also reported by studies evaluating the association of severe need for orthodontic treatment through the IOTN, with quality of life [21]- [24].…”

“…Based on this hypothesis, several studies have reported that dentofacial aesthetics play an important role in both social interaction as well as the psychosocial well-being, where the dental appearance has greater importance than when it is a measured aspect of the functional amendment itself [21] [28] [31]. Because of these findings, and the report of Shaffiula et al (2009), it is justified to argue that the quest for orthodontic treatment is influenced primarily by the desire to look attractive in search of improved self-esteem [30].…”

“…However, there is a consensus that orthodontic treatments with or without orthognathic surgery are the ones that require the use of socio-dental indicators among all dental specialties, for practically generating a large psychosocial influence on patients during all of the treatment time and also having the characteristic that, in some cases, aim for small or large facial changes [9] [16]- [18]. December 2014 | Volume 1 | e1150 According to Sheiham (2000), the use of socio-dental indicators, offers important advantages for the planning and provision of dental services, and the main thing is the shift in emphasis from purely biological aspects to psychological and social aspects [19].…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of occlusal problems on quality of life in 288 patients who had undergone fixed orthodontic therapy, as well as to investigate the factors associated with this impact. Material and Methods: The orthodontic treatment needed by the IOTN index and the adequacy of treatment through the PAR index were evaluated in models. The impact on quality of life was assessed using the CS-OIDP index. For data analysis, we used the MannWhitney and Kruskal-Wallis test for a confidence level of 95%. Results: The impact of malocclusion on quality of life was low, being present in 29.2% of cases. Performances of smiling, emotional state, and cleanliness of the mouth were the most affected. Factors related to the impact were the kind of service of the treatment performed, the need for orthodontic treatment, type of problem that motivated the treatment, and current age at the end of treatment. Conclusions: Despite the low impact, it was strengthened the hypothesis that patients undergoing orthodontic therapy had an improved quality of life.

“…This has been found in non-clinical populations (mainly schoolchildren) [65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74] as well as young people referred for orthodontic treatment. 11,[75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85] The principal areas that impacts are registered are in the questionnaire domains that record emotional and social well-being. A systematic review of the literature concluded that the relationship between malocclusion/orthodontic treatment need and OHQoL was moderate; 86 however due to differences in methodologies between studies, the authors commented that they were unable to undertake a meta-analysis to investigate the statistical relationships more fully.…”

What is the value of orthodontic treatment?

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.

“…OHRQoL is a multidimensional paradigm that involves a subjective assessment of the individual's oral health, functional well-being, emotional well-being, expectations and satisfaction with care, and sense of self. Further researches needed in this domain to improve the quality of data that can enable researchers to draw solid conclusions [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55].…”

In spite of its recent emergence over the past 30 years, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) has important impact on the clinical practice of dentistry and dental research. OHRQoL is a multidimensional paradigm that involves a subjective evaluation of the individual's oral health, functional well-being, emotional wellbeing, expectations and satisfaction with care, and sense of self. It has been beneficial in relation to clinical research and health policies regulation.
