“…8,11,12,14 Concerns related to crowding and spacing may be related to future expectations, since an unpleasant smile may affect adolescents' social and professional lives. 22,23 On the other hand, occlusal characteristics such as misalignment, a diastema, and overjet did not cause dissatisfaction. Intriguingly, a diastema may be considered to be either unattractive 35 or attractive esthetically.…”

Objectives To assess the esthetic impact of anterior occlusal conditions and malocclusion severity levels. Materials and Methods A population-based cross-sectional study of 700 adolescents aged 15 to 19 years was conducted. The Oral Aesthetic Subjective Impact Scale (OASIS) was used to evaluate the subjective esthetic impact of malocclusion. The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) criteria were used to diagnose the anterior occlusal characteristics in isolation and the severity levels of malocclusion. The variables with P < .20 in the individual analyses were tested in multiple logistic regression models, and those with P < .10 remained in the model. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) was estimated with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Of the adolescents, 42% showed negative self-perception of malocclusion. In addition, 15.4% of adolescents had severe malocclusion (DAI 3) and 18.9% very severe malocclusion (DAI 4). Crowding and spacing were shown to be 2.90 (CI: 2.06–4.09) and 2.53 (CI: 1.65–3.86) times, respectively, more likely to cause a negative esthetic impact in adolescents (P < .05). In addition, adolescents with orthodontic treatment need (DAI 2, 3, and 4) were more likely to report a negative esthetic impact (P < .05). Conclusions Anterior crowding and spacing are the conditions that most influence the esthetic concern of adolescents. Adolescents with very severe malocclusion and higher orthodontic treatment need are more likely to report a negative esthetic impact.

“…In this qualitative study, several pivotal factors underpinning extraction choices were identified. The use of qualitative research methods in orthodontics is increasingly recognized given the inherent value in gaining deeper insight into complex and multifaceted research questions [7][8][9][10][11][12] . Among the research topics examined with qualitative methods include orthodontic information on social media 8,9 , patient perception of orthodontic appliances 10 , compliance with removable retainers 11 and removable functional appliances 12 .…”

Summary Aim To determine whether wearing orthodontic appliances was associated with eating difficulty and lower sugars intake among British adolescents. Methods This study analysed data from 4116 12- and 15-year-olds who participated in the 2013 Children’s Dental Health Survey in the UK. Information on eating difficulties in the past 3 months and usual intake of six sugary items was collected through self-administered questionnaires. The presence and type of orthodontic appliances (fixed or removable) were assessed during clinical examinations. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between wearing orthodontic appliances and eating difficulty whereas linear regression was used to evaluate the association between wearing orthodontic appliances and sugars intake. Regression models were adjusted for socio-demographic, behavioural, and clinical characteristics of adolescents. Results 12.9 per cent of the 4116 adolescents wore orthodontic appliances (10.1 per cent fixed and 2.8 per cent removable), 21.0 per cent reported eating difficulties and the mean daily intake of sugars was 5.3 times/day (SD: 3.7, range: 0–20). Adolescents with fixed appliances had 4.02 (95% CI: 3.03, 5.33) greater odds of reporting eating difficulty than those with no appliances, but no differences were found between adolescents wearing removable and no appliances. No association was found between wearing orthodontic appliances and daily sugars intake either [coefficients of 0.20 (95% CI: –0.27, 0.66) and –0.30 (95% CI: –0.96 to 0.36) for adolescents wearing fixed and removable appliances, respectively]. Conclusion Wearing fixed orthodontic appliances were associated with greater odds of reporting eating difficulty, but not with lower sugars intake among British adolescents.
