Implication

This review highlights the high prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder in orthodontic patients, suggesting that early screening and interdisciplinary management may improve outcomes.

Key Points

BDD prevalence in orthodontic patients ranges from 7% to 12%, significantly higher than the general population's 1.7% to 2.4%.
Key risk factors for BDD include perfectionism, bullying history, and comorbid psychiatric disorders, indicating a need for specialized care.
Challenges in diagnosing BDD in orthodontic patients stem from common dissatisfaction with appearance, making early detection crucial.
Integrating BDD screening into orthodontic evaluations can prevent treatment dropout and psychological harm, emphasizing a collaborative approach.
