“…In this study, instruments to assess HRQoL and OHRQoL (AUQUEI and CPQ 8-10 ) were correlated based on data collected in a mixed dentition occlusal stage sample. The mixed dentition is a stage with many biological events and occlusal changes that reflect children's oral health, especially if we consider self-esteem and bullying episodes 7,10 . These factors justify the purpose of understanding the relationship between oral and general health quality.…”

“…[7][8][9] Although some characteristics of occlusion during mixed dentition do not constantly configure the presence of malocclusion, it is during this phase that the most remarkable and most significant changes in children's occlusion occur. 4,9 Moreover, mixed dentition is the phase that allows most interceptive orthodontic procedures, 10 which justifies understanding of the multidimensional aspects that are involved in this period.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the convergence between the domains of the Autoquestionnaire Qualité de Vie Enfant image (AUQUEI) and the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ8-10) in the mixed dentition. A sample of 676 children aged 8 to 10 years responded to the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and oral healthrelated quality of life (OHRQoL) questionnaires using the AUQUEI and the CPQ 8-10 , respectively. Clinical (dental caries and malocclusion) and socioeconomic variables were assessed. The validity of convergence between scores (total and per domain) of the two instruments was assessed by Spearman correlation analysis, considering that non-zero coefficient values represented a correlation between scores. The median was calculated to compare the scores of each questionnaire relative to the variables, and the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test was applied to determine statistically significant differences between the categories. A weak significant correlation (between 0.30 and 0.50) was observed between the domains and the total scores of instruments (p < 0.05), except for the leisure domain (p > 0.05). Participants with a lower family income had worse HRQoL (p < 0.05), and those with caries and malocclusion experience had worse OHRQoL (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the AUQUEI and CPQ 8-10 instruments showed a weak correlation. Income and clinical variables had a negative impact on the AUQUEI and CPQ 8-10 , respectively.

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.
