    Children accurately assessed their dental appearance, but self-satisfaction varied by sex and specific dental traits. This study explores self-perception in pediatric dental aesthetics.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Dentistry
    • Psychology
    • Orthodontics

    Background:

    • Self-evaluation and self-satisfaction are crucial aspects of adolescent psychological development.
    • Dental appearance significantly impacts self-perception, particularly during formative years.
    • Understanding the relationship between objective dental traits and subjective self-assessment is important for orthodontic and pediatric dental care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the self-evaluation skills of children aged 10-13 regarding their dental appearance.
    • To determine the level of self-satisfaction among these children concerning their dental aesthetics.
    • To correlate objective dental-orthodontic variables with children's self-satisfaction with their dental appearance.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 481 children aged 10-13 years participated in the study.

  • Participants completed questionnaires assessing self-evaluation skills and self-satisfaction with dental appearance.
  • Objective dental and orthodontic variables were measured for each child and correlated with questionnaire responses.

    • Main Results:

    • Children demonstrated objectivity in their self-evaluation of dental appearance.
    • Significant sex-specific correlations were identified between specific dental variables and self-satisfaction levels.
    • While self-evaluation was accurate, self-satisfaction was influenced by factors that differed between boys and girls.

    Conclusions:

    • Children possess a degree of accuracy in self-assessing their dental appearance.
    • The relationship between dental characteristics and self-satisfaction is complex and exhibits gender-specific patterns.
    • Findings highlight the importance of considering psychological and sex-specific factors in pediatric dental and orthodontic interventions.
