Objective: To evaluate the self-perception of adolescents regarding the need to undergo orthodontic treatment. Material and Methods: It was performed a cross-sectional study. The sample (n = 200) was composed of adolescents aged 11 to 18 years, of both sexes, divided into 2 groups (G1-in treatment group, G2-beginner group). A structured questionnaire was divided into three categories for data collection: teeth, face, and symptomatology. Considering the age group, data were tabulated and the first measures of central tendency and dispersion (mean, median, standard deviation, minimum value and maximum value), frequencies, and percentages for other variables were calculated. Student's t-test, Chi-square test, Fisher's exact were used to compare the groups for the age group and other variables at a 5% significance level. Results: The mean age was 15.47 (SD = 1.56) years, 59% of the individuals were women. The main reason for deciding to wear orthodontic appliances was due to necessity and malpositioned teeth (94.5%) and for other reasons (5.5%), with no significant difference between G1 and G2 groups (p>0.05); 20.5% wanted their front teeth to be longer/shorter, and 18.5% wanted their upper teeth to be moved forward/backward. There was no significant difference between the groups in the categories "what would you like to change in your appearance" and "pain and discomfort" (p<0.05). Conclusion: Esthetics related to dental positioning of the upper incisors greatly influenced motivation of the adolescents to seek orthodontic treatment. Skeletal anomalies and pain symptomatology had little influence on the adolescent perception.

“…The factors that influence OHRQoL in adolescents have been examined in the last decade [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. There are several studies based on the relationship between malocclusion and OHRQoL using representative population-based samples that control for a set of confounding factors when reporting the association between predictors and the outcome [ 13 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. The most frequently investigated confounding factors were socio-demographic factors such as gender, household income and parents’ education.…”

The aim was to examine the relationship between orthodontic treatment need and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) among Lithuanian adolescents aged 11–18 across gender and age groups. A representative cross-sectional study of 911 adolescents aged 11–18 (mean (M) = 15.53; Standard Deviation (SD) = 1.52) was conducted in 26 public schools. The schoolchildren completed the Child Perceptions Questionnaire to evaluate their OHRQoL. The Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) was used to evaluate the severity of malocclusion. The strength of association between variables was evaluated via negative binomial regression estimating the ratio of sum score means (RSSM). A worse OHRQoL score was associated with a higher grade of IOTN; however, only the Emotional and Social wellbeing domains were significantly affected by malocclusion (RSSM = 1.158; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.083–1.237 and RSSM = 1.205; 95% CI: 1.114–1.304, respectively). The significant association was identified only among females (RSSM = 1.264; 95% CI: 1.176–1.359). A significant association was observed in all age groups for Emotional and Social well-being domains but only in the oldest age group for Oral Symptoms and Functional Limitations domains. Conclusions: Malocclusion has a negative impact on the OHRQoL of young people with emotional and social aspects being the most affected. Girls and older adolescents suffered from malocclusion more than boys and their younger counterparts.

“…However, malocclusion may have a stronger and longer-lasting impact on OHRQoL than the other factors due to the significant functional limitaions in severe cases. [8] Child Perceptions Questionnaire for 11-14-year-old (CPQ11-14) children is a validated and reliable questionnaire to assess the child's OHRQoL. CPQ11-14 has been widely used to asssess the quality of life of children in the age group of 11-14 years.…”

Background This study investigates the impact of malocclusion on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of 11-14-year-old children.Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted among 250 caregiver/child (11-14-year-olds) dyads seeking orthodontic consultation at the orthodontic center at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) was assessed using child perception questionnaire 11-14 (CPQ 11–14 ) and the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) was used to assess severity of malocclusion. CPQ 11–14 scores ranged from 0 to 64, with lower scores representing a better quality of life. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to assess differences between domain and total CPQ 11–14 scores with the co-variates. Results The mean CPQ 11–14 score was 19.89±9.8. Mean scores for the global rating, oral symptoms, functional limitations, emotional well-being, and social well-being domains were 4.91±2.15, 5.26±3.22, 3.67±3.58, 3.98±3.89 and 2.08±2.98, respectively. The distribution of subjects across the four severity categories was minor/none – 37%, definite – 22%, severe – 15% and very severe 24%. The overall and domain-specific scores of CPQ 11–14 varied across the different categories of malocclusion. In the comparisons by pairs, it was found that children with very severe malocclusion had significantly higher scores for the social well-being domain and global rating of oral health as compared to children with no/minor malocclusion (p<0.05). Conclusion Substantial variability in the well-being domain of CPQ 11–14 was observed among children with no/minor malocclusions as compared to children with severe malocclusions.
