“…A longitudinal study of pre-and postoperative psychological characteristics of patients that underwent orthognathic treatment confirmed the perception that the patients benefit psychologically from the improved facial and dental appearance, and an associated increase in self-confidence was also found (Kiyak et al 1982(Kiyak et al , 1984. In another study, high levels of post-operative satisfaction and healthy psychological adjustment were found, which led the authors to conclude that orthognathic treatment appeared to have a positive impact on QOL (Flanary et al 1990). It therefore seems reasonable to assume that orthognathic treatment would be associated with improvements in HRQL.…”

“…Quality of life changes have been studied mainly in relation to orthognathic surgery but not in orthodontic non-surgical treatment (Kiyak et al 1986;Flanary et al 1990;Cunningham et al 1996;Hatch et al 1998;Bennett and Phillips 1999). A longitudinal study of pre-and postoperative psychological characteristics of patients that underwent orthognathic treatment confirmed the perception that the patients benefit psychologically from the improved facial and dental appearance, and an associated increase in self-confidence was also found (Kiyak et al 1982(Kiyak et al , 1984.…”

Although quality of life (QOL) assessment is important in dentistry, it has not been fully investigated in orthodontic patients. We investigated the health-related generic QOL (entire body health) and disease specific QOL (oral health) in adult patients with malocclusions at the first visit. One hundred and twenty-seven orthodontic patients and 66 persons with normal occlusion were recruited for the study. The subjects were divided into the three following groups based on their treatment: 61 patients in need of surgical correction (SURG), 66 patients in need of non-surgical correction (NONS), and 66 control subjects with normal occlusion. Their dentofacial morphology was assessed using a specific Severity Score (SS), which was set up originally based on their cephalometric radiographs and their plaster models of arrangement of their teeth. The subjects also completed a generic QOL assessment questionnaire, the SF-36, and two disease-specific QOL instruments. The patients with malocclusions, especially SURG, had lower disease-specific QOL, although the generic QOL was equal to that of control subjects. Furthermore, in patients with the same severity of dentofacial deformities, especially SS 4 and SS 5, the borderline cases of surgical correction and non-surgical correction, there were differences between SURG and NONS in some items of the QOL. The severity of malocclusion evidently plays an important role in patients' choice of treatment, but also QOL appeared to play a significant role. The QOL assessment may contribute to the selection of the best treatment for improving QOL, especially for borderline cases with moderate degrees of orthodontic abnormality.

“…We have recently reported that the patients with malocclusions especially in need of surgical correction had lower disease-specifi c HRQOL (Tajima et al 2007). However, even after orthodontic treatment by the expert dentists, patients show large variations in the level of satisfaction (Kiyak et al 1982;Flanary et al 1990;Enomoto et al 2000;Cunningham et al 2002). Although preoperative HRQOL and phychological status of the patients might affect the level of satisfaction, prospective cohort study with the viewpoint has not been reported.…”

“…2 It has been suggested that personality traits were improved after orthodontic treatment. Flanary et al 3 conducted a study on 61 orthognathic surgery patients and found that there was major improvement of personality disturbances: general maladjustment, psychosis, neurosis, personality disorder, and personality integration. Varela and García-Camba 4 studied the impact of orthodontic treatment on the psychological profile of adult patients.…”

Objective: To compare personality traits, attitude toward orthodontic treatment, and pain perception and experience before and after orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: One hundred subjects (50 male and 50 female) were included in this study. The mean (SD) age was 17.5 (2.05) years at T1 and 19.15 (2.32) years at T2. The instruments for data collection were questionnaires that included assessment of patients' personality traits, attitudes toward orthodontic treatment, and pain perception/experience. Subjects completed the questionnaires at two different times: before orthodontic treatment (T1) and after fixed orthodontic treatment (T2). Subjects were treated by fixed orthodontic appliances for an average (SD) period of 18.64 (0.35) months. Paired sample t-test and chi-square test were used to detect any differences. Results: Significant changes in personality traits were detected after orthodontic treatment irrespective of gender. Neuroticism, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness scores were improved (P , .001). A positive attitude toward orthodontic treatment was reported at T1 (4.31 [61.26]) and improved at T2 (3.98 [61.16]) irrespective of gender (P , .05). The average (SD) expected pain score (T1) was 4.73 (1.88) and the average (SD) experienced pain score (T2) was 4.63 (1.58). Significant difference in the expected and experienced pain scores was not detected (P 5 .11). Conclusions: Personality traits and attitude toward orthodontic treatment improved after orthodontic treatment. Reported actual pain experience during orthodontic treatment was similar to that expected before treatment. (Angle Orthod. 2015;85:474-479.)
