Purpose: This study aimed to determine the impact of soft tissue structure on the psychosocial effects of malocclusions in women and men.
Material and Methods: The severity of malocclusion was determined in 84 individuals with a Class I skeletal pattern. The Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire was administered to determine the malocclusion perceptions of the patients. Arnett’s soft tissue analysis was performed to determine the soft tissue structure. The difference between the sociodemographic factors and severity of malocclusion averages of men and women was statistically examined. Subsequently, the impact of Arnett’s soft tissue analysis parameters on the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire scores of each gender was evaluated.
Results: No statistically significant association was observed between women and men related to the sociodemographic factors and the severity of malocclusions. The number of Arnett’s soft tissue analysis parameters affecting the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire scores was higher in men than women. Women were more psychologically affected by malocclusions, while men were affected by soft tissue structure changes, and women were affected by dental factors.
Conclusion: Although the soft tissue structure did not affect the perception of malocclusions in women, women experienced a more severe psychological effect of malocclusion.
