Marques LS et al. – The aim of the present study was to determine the biopsychosocial impact of malocclusion on the daily living of Brazilian adolescents (14 to 18 years of age) through normative and subjective records and identify factors directly involved in the self–perception of malocclusions. Negative repercussions on daily living were found in Brazilian adolescents with malocclusions affecting anterior dental aesthetics.

| This is the second study carried out in Brazil in which subjective criteria prevail over normative criteria when considering the need for orthodontic treatment. The majority (78.5%) of the teenage participants in the present study reported a self-perceived need to wear an orthodontic appliance, whereas just 49% were judged in the treatment need category according to a normative index (DAI). This finding underlines the aesthetic values and importance society attributes to straight teeth and physical attractiveness in general. |
