“…High-income individuals reported fewer problems eating and functioning in life while wearing braces. This was consistent with a previous study conducted in Sweden that showed a significant association between poor OHRQoL and low income as well as having no economic resources [15]. These results suggest that high-income subjects generally had fewer problems with their braces perhaps because they had more resources to properly address the difficulties when needed.…”

Background: Orthodontic braces have become symbols of wealth and fashion accessories in some parts of the world. However, there is a scarcity of information about the effects of fashion braces on various aspects of quality of life. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the effects of fashion braces on oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL). Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with data collection from a Google form questionnaire distributed in Saudi Arabia via various forms of social media over a period of 4 months. OHRQoL was assessed using the validated Arabic version of the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire. The fashion braces group included respondents who had braces installed for fashion purposes only. Therapeutic braces group included subjects who were wearing braces to treat any malocclusion problems. Control group included subjects who did not have any kind of braces. People who had previously completed orthodontic treatments were excluded from the study. The negative impacts were divided into seven domains and a total OHIP score was calculated. Statistical analyses and data illustration were performed with SPSS v25 (IBM, NY). Results: A total of 1141 people voluntarily participated in the study. More than 60% of the participants were in the control group while 33.7% had conventional braces for therapeutic reasons and 3.4% had fashion braces. Sociodemographic distributions varied among the groups, with the majority of the fashion braces group having education below the university level and family incomes less than average. There were significant group differences in OHIP domains. Physical pain was the most frequently reported complaint by all subjects and was the highest in the therapeutic braces group. People with therapeutic braces reported significantly higher functional limitation and physical disability than the controls. Fashion braces group reported significantly lower psychological discomfort and disability, social disability and handicap compared to control groups. Conclusions: The illustrated effects of fashion braces on OHRQoL suggest the need to study the role of social media and educate the public on the use of braces to minimize the negative effects experienced by individuals.

Background Fake braces have become popular as fashionable appliances in some parts of the world, however, there is a scarcity of information about their effects on various aspects of quality of life. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the effects of fake braces on oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL).Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out with data collection from a Google form questionnaire distributed in Saudi Arabia via various forms of social media over a period of four months. OHRQoL was assessed using the validated Arabic version of the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire. Fake braces group included respondents who had braces installed for fashion purposes only. Therapeutic braces group included subjects who were wearing braces to treat any malocclusion problems. Control group included participants who did not have any kind of braces. People who had previously completed orthodontic treatments were excluded from the study. The negative impacts were divided into seven domains and a total OHIP score was calculated. Statistical analyses and data illustration were performed with SPSS Statistics (v. 25).Results A total of 1167 people voluntarily participated in the study. More than 60% of the participants were in the control group while 30% had conventional braces for therapeutic reasons and less than 5% had fashion braces under investigation. Sociodemographic distributions varied among the groups and the majority of the subjects in fake braces group had education below the university level with family income of less than average. There were no significant group differences in total OHIP scores. Physical pain was the most frequently reported complaint by all subjects and was the highest in the therapeutic braces group. People with fake or therapeutic braces reported significantly higher functional limitation and physical disability than the control. Yet, fashion braces group reported significantly lower psychological discomfort and disability compared to the therapeutic braces or control groups.Conclusions The illustrated effects of fake braces on OHRQoL in this study suggests the need to study the role of social media and educate the public on the use of braces to minimize the negative effects experienced by individuals.

“…Higher values indicate poorer OHRQoL. The mean score was calculated and the OHIP-5 was also dichotomized into good OHRQoL (scoring 3 or 4 on no more than one item) vs poor OHRQoL (scoring 3 or 4 on at least two items) [24].…”

Objective: To investigate the relationship between subjective symptoms of orofacial pain and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), as well as psychological distress in population-based middleaged women. Material and methods: The two study samples comprised 1059 women, 38 and 50 years old, in representative cross-sectional studies. Women with long-lasting, frequent pain or headaches, related to temporomandibular disorders (TMD), with moderate-to-high estimates were analysed in relation to the non-case group. OHRQoL was measured using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-5). Psychological distress was measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Sense of Coherence (SOC-13). Results: Women with orofacial pain (n ¼ 82, 7.7%) had a significantly higher mean score on the OHIP-5, HADS-A and HADS-D and a lower mean score for SOC-13. In a multivariable logistic regression, orofacial pain was statistically significantly associated with poorer OHRQoL (OR ¼ 1.2) and signs of depression (HADS-D) (OR ¼ 2.0). A higher score for SOC-13 protected from the experience of orofacial pain (OR ¼ 0.95). Conclusion: Orofacial pain was associated with poorer OHRQoL and signs of psychological distress. In interpreting the value of SOC, women with orofacial pain also appear to have a poorer adaptive capacity.
