ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine in a group of young patients and adults if the perception of their self-esteem, psychosocial development and quality of care improved after orthodontic treatment. Material and method: The sample consisted of 60 patients who were divided into four study groups: two groups were composed of 15 teenagers of both genders and the other two, with 15 adult patients of both genders. In all cases, their records and diagnoses were available for selecting patients treated with fixed pre-adjusted orthodontic appliances and who had at least 6 mm of crowding in the upper arch. We implemented a modified survey of psychosocial impact and a dental aesthetics questionnaire (PIDAQ), both instruments in order to assess the perception of self-esteem, psychosocial development and quality of care provided by the residents of the Department of Orthodontics of the Intercontinental University before and after the treatment. Results: It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference in the perception of personal confidence and in social skills pre- and post-treatment among young patients and adults. No significant difference was found in self-confidence between male and female patients, or in the perception of the quality of care received between male and female patients. There was no statistically significant difference in the perception of quality of attention received among the young patients and adults. Conclusion: The self-esteem caused by the presence of malocclusions is very difficult to assess. It is evident, however, that patients seek orthodontic treatment for aesthetics reasons based on a social aspect that makes them feel better, which was more evident in adult patients.
