Keywords:
Malocclusion, Dental appearance satisfaction, OASISAbstract
Malocclusion is one of the most significant factors affecting oral health, and it is significant not only for financial and physical comfort but also for quality of life (QoL) by impairing appearance, interpersonal connections, function, self-confidence, socializing, and psychological well-being. Objectives: This study was piloted to evaluate OHRQoL in children between the ages of 13 and 18 who were seeking orthodontic treatment at Abbottabad International Medical and Dental College, Abbottabad and to determine the relationship between the need for orthodontic management, gender, age and OHRQoL. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study using a questionnaire was done among 900 young individuals, ages 13 to 18, who visited the department of orthodontics. The OASIS survey was completed by the participants. All patients aged 13 to 18 who reported for treatment at the orthodontic department between January 2023 till June 2023 were included while those having a history of jaw trauma, those who are undergoing orthodontic therapy, and those who have undergone orthodontic treatment were omitted from the study.
