To compare the changes in oral health-related quality of life(OHRQoL) among adolescent patients and adult patients during orthodontic treatment.The clinical data were collected from 81 patients (aged 15 to 25 years old) who underwent comprehensive orthodontic treatment. The participants were divided into 2 groups: adolescent patients (n=43) and adult patients (n=38) by age. OHRQoL was assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). All subjects were examined and interviewed at baseline and the end of 3 stages during orthodontics treatment. Friedman 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Wilcoxon signed rank tests were used to compare the relative changes of OHRQoL among different time points with SPSS 20.0 software package.The scores of OHIP-14 and all domains except communication disorder and social disability domain in adolescent and adult patients showed significant changes as well as a decrease trend. Only adults showed significant changes in communication disorder.Both groups had no significant difference.The impact of comprehensive orthodontic treatment on patients' OHRQoL is quite different. Orthodontists should pay attention to the differences and guide the patients accordingly. |
