ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
This study aimed to evaluate the association of esthetic expectations with self-reported personal characteristics, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, oral health-related quality of life, and the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) in Chinese adult patients before orthognathic treatment.METHODS:
This study involved 213 patients with clinically significant skeletal deformity requiring orthognathic surgery for comprehensive treatment. Each patient completed a series of Chinese version scales, including the self-rating anxiety scale, self-rating depression scale, self-esteem scale, the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 questionnaire, and the OQLQ. The patients' self-reported personal characteristics were also recorded, including facial appearance ratings before and after orthognathic treatment, highest education level, mean monthly income, and enthusiasm toward orthodontic or orthognathic treatment. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator multivariate linear regression model was conducted for the selection of the above factors. The final multivariate linear regression model was built with variables identified under the optimal tuning parameter.RESULTS:
A total of 213 patients (87 men and 126 women) were included in this study. The patients' esthetic expectation scores were significantly associated with their total scores, which encompassed the education level, mean monthly income, enthusiasm toward orthodontic or orthognathic treatment, self-esteem scale, the Chinese version of the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire, OQLQ, etc. In the multivariate linear regression model, the OQLQ, enthusiasm toward orthognathic treatment, depression, and expected facial appearance score after the treatment were the most important factors to predict esthetic expectation.CONCLUSIONS:
High esthetic expectations for orthognathic treatment were mostly associated with higher expected facial appearance scores after the treatment, greater enthusiasm toward orthognathic treatment, worse depression (confusion), and 2 domains (social aspects of deformity and oral function) of OQLQ. Therefore, OQLQ, enthusiasm toward orthognathic treatment, and expected facial appearance score after treatment may be used to predict patients' esthetic expectations before commencing orthognathic treatment in daily clinical practice.
