Abstract
Background. The purpose of the study was to identify the features of changes in the psychological state of patients after orthodontic treatment, and the impact of these changes on human life. Materials and methods. The study included 167 people of both sex es (98 women and 69 men) aged 18–38 years. An anonymous survey was conducted. The questionnaire included questions on the basis of which the main goals of correcting orthodontic defects and the expected results after the procedure in patients were identified. Two possible answers were offered to each question (“Yes” and “no”). Results and conclusions. It has been established that orthodontic treatment plays an important role in increasing a person’s self-esteem. The data obtained indicate that orthodontic treatment contributes not only to the correction of physical defects, but also to the psychological restructuring of a person.
