Combining Normative and Psychosocial Perceptions for Assessing Orthodontic Treatment Needs

Abstract: Whereas perceptions of malocclusion by the public are mainly subjective, currently orthodontic treatment needs are predominantly determined using normative need. There are considerable differences between normative and subjective perceptions of orthodontic need. Yet clinical measures determine current provision of orthodontic services, whereas subjective oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) measures are seldom used and play a small part in need assessment despite predicting perceived need.

Also, OHRQoL has been used as an outcome measure to determine the effectiveness of treatment.…”
