“…Japan (Yamashita et al, 2008) were consistent with our findings, which reported that smile or esthetics was the prime concern for teeth malaligned teeth. Concerning the cause of malaligned teeth, the most commonly answered reason by the parents was hereditary and this finding is similar to the findings of (Mossey, 1999).…”

Introduction: Early intervention avoids or minimizes full-blown malocclusion later in childhood and removes elements that interfere with dental arch development. Parents have a significant role in their children's oral health and related habits. This study aimed to assess parental awareness of children's oral health and habits and its impact on the malocclusion. Materials and Methods: A convenience sampling technique was used to recruit parents of children aged 4-9 years old in Jeddah. A self-administered questionnaire was utilized to collect parents' awareness and knowledge about oral health, oral habits and early identification of malocclusion. Results: A total of 485 eligible parents participated in the study. About 79% of parents agreed that it was essential to keep baby teeth in place to prevent malocclusion. It was reported by 24.7% and 17.7% of the parents that genetics and oral habits are the reasons for a malocclusion. The overall knowledge level was found to be moderate among the parents, where 36.7%) had demonstrated 'good' knowledge related to oral habits and oral health and their relationship with malocclusion. Good knowledge levels were significantly higher among parents who had higher educational levels (p<0.001). Conclusion: Unlike previous studies done in Saudi Arabia, this study showed comparatively good awareness of oral habits and oral health and its impact on malocclusion among parents. This research highlights the role of pedodontists as key players in imparting knowledge to parents in preventing malocclusion among children.

“…Crowding of the anterior teeth is easily noticed by children and their guardians prompting them to seek advice and treatment. 31 Frontal photographs were shown to the participants because mostly people evaluate esthetics when confronted face to face. Intraoral frontal photograph was shown to help the participants have a closer look at malocclusion trait.…”

Aim: Perception of beauty is a subjective phenomenon and varies from individual to individual. The aim of this study was to find out the least acceptable malocclusion trait among crowding, spacing with overjet, open bite and deep bite. Materials and methods:The one hundred and nine college students were shown frontal photographs of four patients having severe crowding, spacing with increased overjet, open bite and deep bite. They were asked to rate their perception on visual analog scale. The data obtained was analyzed by SPSS.Results: In this study it was found that crowding of teeth was the least acceptable malocclusion trait followed by spacing and increased overjet, open bite and deep bite. Conclusion:Crowding malocclusion and spacing with increased overjet created the worst impression and were among the most disliked malocclusion traits. People having these malocclusion traits are easily noticed for their compromised esthetics and have to face discrimination.

Objectives To determine recognition ability and the levels of esthetic tolerance of deep bite and anterior open bite (AOB) among laypeople and investigate the factors affecting levels of tolerance. Materials and Methods Using a questionnaire, laypeople (N = 100) were examined, and overbite was measured. They were tested for whether they recognized deep bite and AOB. Esthetic tolerance thresholds for deep bite and AOB were selected by incremental depiction in grayscale images. Stepwise logistic regression analyses were used to quantify the effect of recognition and other factors (age, sex, education level, occupation, history of orthodontic treatment, interest in orthodontic treatment or retreatment, and overbite presence) affecting the tolerance of overbite problems (α = 0.05). Results Of the participants, 55% and 94% recognized deep bite and AOB, respectively. Participants with a deep bite were significantly more likely to esthetically tolerate deep bite compared with those without a deep bite (odds ratio [OR], 3.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.29–9.89). Participants who recognized a deep bite problem had significantly lower esthetic tolerance to deep bite compared with participants who did not recognize a deep bite (OR, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.06–0.45). None of the other eight chosen factors significantly affected the tolerance level of AOB (P > .05). Conclusions Participants with a deep bite or those who did not recognize a deep bite had significantly higher esthetic tolerance of deep bite than those without or those who recognized the problem (P < .05).
