- OHRQoL Oral Health-Related Quality of Life, IOTN Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need, DHC dental health component, AC aesthetic component, DAI dental aesthetic index, ICON Index of Complexity, Outcome and Need, PAR Peer Assessment Rating, SD standard deviation, IQR interquartile range
- Sample size: 204; two-related-samples test: Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. OHRQoL were classified into quartiles; IOTN (DHC) and IOTN (AC): no need, borderline need, definite need; DAI: normal or minor malocclusion, definite malocclusion, severe malocclusion, very severe (handicapping) malocclusion; ICON: no, yes; ICON complexity: easy, mild, moderate, difficult, very difficult; PAR: almost ideal occlusion, acceptable occlusion, malocclusion
