Key Points

This research aims to examine the relationship between malocclusion severity and oral health-related quality of life in children aged 11 to 14.
Compared malocclusion severity using established metrics.
Assessed oral health-related quality of life through CPQ11-14 and P-CPQ questionnaires.
Incorporated perspectives from both children and parents.
Children with greater malocclusion severity reported lower oral health-related quality of life scores.
The findings were especially significant among older children.
Child and parent assessments showed considerable agreement.

Abstract

Greater severity of malocclusion, particularly in older children, is significantly associated with poorer OHRQoL. The relative agreement between child and parent assessments highlights the importance of considering both perspectives in clinical and research settings.
