Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals strong link between malocclusion severity and psychosocial health in adolescents, suggesting clear aligners influence self-perception.

Key Points

  • Adolescents with greater malocclusion severity experience higher psychosocial burden, indicating a significant relationship between dental aesthetics and psychological well-being.
  • Mean malocclusion severity measured by DAI was 31.8, with a corresponding mean PIDAQ score of 45.7, showing a strong positive correlation (r = 0.64, p < 0.001).
  • Cross-sectional analysis among 94 adolescents aged 12–18 years highlighted the importance of integrating psychosocial considerations in orthodontic treatment models.
  • Findings underline the need for orthodontic approaches that address both clinical and psychosocial aspects to enhance adolescent well-being during treatment.
