Research Progress on the Impact of Orthodontic Treatment on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Malocclusion and Assessment Methods

摘要: 错颌畸形作为一种常见的口腔疾病，显著影响患者的口腔功能、美观及心理健康，进而影响其生活质量。正畸治疗被广泛认可为改善错颌畸形患者口腔健康的重要手段，近年来越来越多的研究关注其对口腔健康相关生活质量的积极影响。尽管现有文献显示正畸治疗能够有效提升患者的口腔健康相关生活质量，但仍存在对评估方法的不足，例如缺乏统一和标准化的评估工具。本文旨在综述错颌畸形正畸治疗对口腔健康相关生活质量的影响，特别关注于问卷调查在评估中的应用及其最新研究进展。通过对相关文献的综合分析，本文将揭示正畸治疗在提升口腔健康相关生活质量方面的重要性，并指出未来研究应关注的方向和潜在的评估方法，以推动该领域的发展。

Abstract: Malocclusion, a common oral condition, significantly affects patients’ oral function, aesthetics, and mental health, thereby reducing their quality of life. Orthodontic treatment has been widely recognized as an important means to improve the oral health of patients with malocclusion. In recent years, more and more research has begun to focus on the positive impact of orthodontic treatment on oral health-related quality of life. Although existing literature shows that orthodontic treatment can effectively improve the oral health-related quality of life of patients, the deficiency of evaluation methods, such as the lack of unified and standardized evaluation tools, is still an urgent problem to be solved. This article aims to review the impact of orthodontic treatment for malocclusion on oral health-related quality of life, with a special focus on the application of questionnaires in evaluation and the latest research progress. Through the comprehensive analysis of relevant literature, this article will reveal the importance of orthodontic treatment in improving the oral health-related quality of life, and point out the direction of future research and potential evaluation methods to promote the development of this field.
