“…From this point of view, the use of this instrument in research and clinical practice (i.e., clinical trials) is valid, because the instrument can offer information for healthcare professionals to better understand the consequences of the treatment on a patient's QoL. It could potentially help clinicians understand the magnitude of the benefits associated with the treatment for TDI (22,25). So, our results can be developed further to help to evaluate other studies with prepost design analyzing the impact of TDI treatment in other populations and help support political actions and research in public health areas.…”

“…92 There have been a small number of longitudinal studies, all of which have found an improvement in OHQoL following orthodontic treatment. 42,[93][94][95][96] Furthermore, a case controlled study also reported fewer physical, psychological and social impacts on daily performance associated with a malocclusion, in patients that had received Orthodontic treatment, compared to those who had not. 97 There is still a vigorous debate in the research community about the concept of OHQoL, what OHQoL questionnaires measure and how they should be used in the future.…”

SummaryOrthodontic treatment is as popular as ever. Orthodontists frequently have long lists of people wanting treatment and the cost to the NHS in England was £261m in 2013-14 (approximately 11% of the NHS annual spend on dentistry). It is important that clinicians and healthcare commissioners constantly question the contribution of interventions towards improving the health of the population. In this article the authors outline some of the evidence for and against the claims that people with a malocclusion are at a disadvantage compared with those without a malocclusion and that orthodontic treatment has significant health benefits. The authors would like to point out that this is not a comprehensive and systematic review of the entire scientific literature. Rather the evidence is presented in order to stimulate discussion and debate.

“…The use of OHRQoL measures in addition to professional indices offers a potentially useful combination [7,12]. OHIP-14 can be used as a potential proxy measure to replace subjective clinical opinions for determining treatment need in youth [13]. …”

BackgroundThe objectives for this study were to assess Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in young people aged 15–25 who sought orthodontic treatment, and to measure the association between orthodontic treatment need (using the IOTN), sex, age and education level, and oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL).MethodsSurvey of a consecutive series of 323 young adults aged 15 to 25 years, attending orthodontic clinics at the Faculty of Dentistry, Universiti Teknologi MARA. Participants completed the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and had a clinical examination including the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need- Dental Health Component (IOTN-DHC). Data analyses included descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA and bivariate and multivariate regression models.ResultsThe mean overall score (± SD) for OHIP-14 in young people aged 15–25 was 22.6 ± 12.5. The psychological discomfort domain was the domain where highest impact was recorded with a mean (± SD) of 4.0 ± 1.9. The regression analyses showed a significant association of IOTN-DHC with overall OHIP-14 score (p < 0.05). Although females reported a slightly higher impact than males, this was not significant in both bivariate and multivariate analyses. Age group had a significant negative association with overall OHIP-14 score (p < 0.05). The 15–18 year old group showed the highest impact on their quality of life due to malocclusion. Participants with a university education report a significantly higher impact on OHRQoL as compared to participants with only secondary education.ConclusionMalocclusion has a significant negative impact on OHRQoL and its domains. This is greatest for the psychological discomfort domain. Younger people and those with a university education report higher levels of impact. There was no reported difference in impact between male and females.
