Orthodontic treatment can improve dental aesthetics, but it does not always boost self-esteem. This study examined self-esteem and aesthetics in treated and untreated groups.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Dentistry
  • Aesthetics

Background:

  • Self-esteem and self-concept are crucial psychological factors.
  • Aesthetic perceptions significantly influence individual self-perception.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between orthodontic treatment, aesthetic improvements, and self-esteem.
  • To compare self-esteem levels across different stages of orthodontic intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Measured self-esteem/self-concept and aesthetics in three distinct groups.
  • Included participants before orthodontic treatment, after treatment completion, and an untreated control group.

Main Results:

  • Observed changes in dental and facial aesthetics following orthodontic treatment.

  • Found no necessary correlation between enhanced aesthetics and increased self-esteem.

    • Conclusions:

    • Orthodontic interventions may improve appearance but do not guarantee a rise in self-esteem.
    • Psychological well-being requires consideration beyond purely aesthetic outcomes in orthodontic care.
