Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of occlusal
problems on quality of life in 288 patients who had undergone fixed orthodontic
therapy, as well as to investigate the factors associated with this impact. Material
and Methods: The orthodontic treatment needed by the IOTN index and the adequacy
of treatment through the PAR index were evaluated in models. The impact on
quality of life was assessed using the CS-OIDP index. For data analysis, we
used the Mann- Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test for a confidence level of 95%. Results:
The impact of malocclusion on quality of life was low, being present in 29.2%
of cases. Performances of smiling, emotional state, and cleanliness of the
mouth were the most affected. Factors related to the impact were the kind of
service of the treatment performed, the need for orthodontic treatment, type of
problem that motivated the treatment, and current age at the end of treatment. Conclusions:
Despite the low impact, it was strengthened the hypothesis that patients undergoing
orthodontic therapy had an improved quality of life.
