OBJECTIVES: Malocclusion affects the psychological wellness and social interaction, impacting negatively on adolescents' quality of life and self-esteem. Facial attractiveness is mostly based on the esthetics of the smile and patients seek orthodontic treatment mainly to improve aesthetics. The aim of this prospective clinical study is to compare the psychosocial impact of aligners (AL) and fixed appliances (FA) as orthodontic treatments in patients affected by craniofacial anomalies (CFA).
METHODS: 100 syndromic Caucasian patients with CFA followed in two different hospitals were divided in two groups: 50 patients treated with AL and 50 patients treated with FA. The two groups were matched for gender, age and CFA and filled out a modified psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics questionnaire (mPIDAQ).
RESULTS: Patients affected by CFA treated with AL reported a better psychosocial impact than patients treated with FA, showing higher esthetic self-perception and self-esteem, lower social interaction impairments, and lower physical/practical disturbances.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that AL could be a valid alternative, especially in complex patients with CFA. Since AL application requires more cooperative patients the orthodontist should dedicate more time to motivate the patient to adhere to the treatment schedule.
