“…Females were more dissatisfied with the appearance of their dentition and perceived a need for braces more often than males.The overall self-esteem appeared high among the group, and therefore its impact on malocclusion was unlikely to be detected. The present finding has been supported by a number of studies confirming the presence of a dentofacial deformity and does not necessarily result in lower self-esteem [10][11][12].…”

“…Adults are also more emotionally stable, and their concept of dentofacial esthetics is more realistic. [12] The results indicate that the level of esthetic impairment represented by Grades 6 through to ten was considered to require orthodontic treatment by 100% of the subjects surveyed in both the groups. The young adults, therefore, agree with the professionals' assessment that individuals with this level of esthetic impairment are in need of orthodontic treatment.…”

“…Many researchers argue that the term "agreement" builds the image of the patient as a passive and submissive personality, unable to make a choice and therefore prefer alternative conditions (as well as adherence to certain rules already), coordination or cooperation [4] [6] and especially consent, based on awareness. These terms are placing greater emphasis on the role of patient choice and suggest more active cooperation to achieve therapeutic success [7].…”

The individual's awareness of malocclusion, like the necessity for orthodontic treatment, seems to be different at different ages, as observed in orthodontic referrals. The information originating by orthodontist and proposed to the patient may be filled in writing and in oral form. The contemporary world requires that it can appear on-line, too. The aim of the study is to define the gap of children and parents awareness and motivation for orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: We have randomly selected parents (n = 214) and their children (n = 258) from Plovdiv at 2012. The inquiry contains questions designed to provide socio-demographic characteristics, the role of orthodontist and both importance of social media for the awareness in orthodontics. Results: Gender is not a factor for the parents awareness on the qualifications and skills of orthodontists (P > 0.05; χ 2 = 4.71, df = 3) but statistics shows significant difference in the group of orthodontist regarding the necessary motivation of patients (P < 0.05; χ 2 = 12.85). The benefits are complex and diverse, according to the perceptions of parents (P < 0.05; χ 2 = 29.60, df = 1). Mothers have a greater awareness than fathers (P = 0.027; χ 2 = 14.23, df = 6), but fathers take significant involvement in the payment of orthodontic services. Conclusions: Patient consent may be helpful to anticipate the problems that might arise during treatment. The cooperation of the patient is the only significant factor that orthodontists comply. The benefits of orthodontic treatment are complex and diverse, according to the perceptions of parents.
