A Study on the outcomes of Orthodontic Treatment in Patients

Abstract

To evaluate outcome of orthodontic treatment on patients, random sampling was conducted on patients.
Unstructured interview was conducted in this study. This could help in understanding final outcome of the
treatment. Although treatment did not have much effect on masticatory functions and speech efficiency
but has positive impact on self-confidence, due to improvement in esthetics of patients.
The consequences or outcomes of various types of Orthodontic treatments can be classified as functional,
psychosocial and aesthetic in nature. However, if we look at a broader perspective, there has been very
few activities and research methodologies in reference to the consequences of the treatments in a
quantitative way from patient’s point of view.
