OBJECTIVE: This prospective study aimed to evaluate the impact on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in skeletal Class III patients treated with the surgery-first approach using either orthodontic aligners or fixed appliances.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients were treated using the Surgery-First Approach (SFA) combined with either clear aligner (CA) or conventional fixed appliances (FA). A total of 20 patients (male and female) were allocated to the CA group, while 14 were included in the FA group. OHRQoL was assessed using the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ), the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and the SF-36 at different time periods: (T0) pre-treatment, (T1) 1 week after orthodontic appliance installation, (T2) 4 weeks post-surgery and (T3) 6 months post-surgery. Data analysis was conducted using the Friedman and Mann-Whitney tests, with a significance level of 5%.
RESULTS: No statistically significant differences were found in OHRQoL scores between the CA and FA groups at baseline and after 6 months of treatment. However, significant intra-group improvements were observed over time, particularly between the first and sixth months of treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Both ortho-surgical approaches, using either clear aligners or fixed appliances, resulted in significant improvements in patient quality of life. These findings highlight the positive impact of orthognathic treatment on dentofacial correction and overall well-being, regardless of the appliance type.
