“…Changes in facial/mouth appearance structure and function improves quality of life in the majority of cases, with satisfaction in process and outcome at over 90% in a great number of audits carried out in UK. Evidence has shown that orthognathic patients at pre-treatment have a quality of life that is poorer than individuals with no dento-facial problems and quality of life related to oral health improves following orthognathic surgery [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. These finding were supported by a systematic review of the literature and showed that psychological benefit including improved body and facial image, self and social adjustment was experienced by orthognathic patients as an outcome of treatment (Hunt et al, 2001).…”

“…Patients with jaw deformities who and undergo orthognathic surgery are relatively young and receive life-long benefits. Cost-effectiveness of orthognathic surgery has been demonstrated [13]. Health and effect of health care measurement must include an estimation of well-being and not only an indication of changes in severity and frequency of diseases.…”

Objectives: To assess the impact of orthognathic surgery on patients' quality of life.Participants: 20 patients (males = 10) and (females = 10) with a mean age of 21.4 years who carried out orthognathic surgery with movement of at least one jaw between November 2014 and January 2016.Method: Patients were asked to fill an OHIP-14 questionnaire at two specific intervals, T 1 (6 weeks post-surgery) and T 2 (6 months post-surgery). OHIP-14 scores at T 0 , T 1 and T 2 were compared to assess impact of orthognathic surgery on the quality of life.Results: There was a significant deterioration in OHIP-14 scores in physiological limitation and social disability domains from base point (T 0 ) to (T 1 ) 6-weeks.from Base point to 6 months interval (T 0 -T 2 ) psychological domain improved significantly. Conclusion:Patient's oral health related quality of life improved significantly following the orthognathic surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of dental crowding and lip protrusion on self-esteem and quality of life (QOL) in female orthodontic patients with Class I malocclusion. Materials and Methods: The study sample consisted of 201 patients (mean age 22.6 6 3.0 years) who sought orthodontic treatment. All the patients were evaluated before treatment in terms of their degree of dental crowding and lip protrusion. Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale and the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) were used to determine self-esteem and QOL and to evaluate whether these values were related to malocclusion severity. Results: The results indicated that severe crowding and severe protrusion can result in lower selfesteem and poorer QOL (P , .05) than mild crowding and protrusion in Class I malocclusion. In the oral function component of the OQLQ, the severity of protrusion did not have significant effect. Conclusions: In Class I malocclusion, patients with mild crowding or protrusion had significantly better self-esteem and QOL scores than severe crowding or protrusion patients. (Angle Orthod. 2015;85:812-819.)

“…This agrees with other studies, which show an increase in QoL scores at 4 and 6 months after surgery. 8,12,13 Other authors report postsurgical satisfaction scores of 77.9%, with postsurgical satisfaction results ranging from 8 to 10 points in the Visual Analogue Scale 12 months after the surgery. 14 One study in Germany reported a high patient satisfaction after orthognathic surgery, mainly in those patients with class III skeletal abnormalities.…”
