The objective of this study was to identify factors that may affect patients' satisfaction with their dentition after orthodontic treatment. Fifty patients (20 males and 30 females; mean age 20.7 +/- 4.2 years) who successfully had finished fixed orthodontic treatment were included in the study. All subjects were treated with upper and lower fixed orthodontic appliances for an average duration of 19 +/- 4 months and were in retention stage (6-12 months) with upper Hawley and lower fixed bonded retainers. Dental Impact on Daily Living questionnaire was used to assess the effect of orthodontic treatment on daily living and satisfaction with the dentition in the study sample. The NEO Five Factor inventory was used to assess personality profiles in the study sample. Comparisons between groups were made using chi-square test. Personality traits were found to be correlated with patients' satisfaction with their dentition after orthodontic treatment. Higher neuroticism scores had a significant negative relationship with total satisfaction with the dentition (P < .05). Age, sex, and pretreatment orthodontic treatment need had no relationship with the patient's satisfaction. Patients treated nonextraction showed more dissatisfaction with their dentition (P < .05). In orthodontically treated patients, higher neuroticism scores were associated with lower levels of satisfaction with the dentition.
本研究的目的是确定可能影响患者正畸治疗后牙列满意度的因素。研究纳入了50例成功完成固定正畸治疗的患者（20例男性和30例女性；平均年龄20.7±4.2岁）。所有受试者均使用上下固定正畸矫治器治疗，平均疗程为19±4个月，处于保持阶段（6 - 12个月），使用上颌霍利保持器和下颌固定粘结保持器。在研究样本中，采用《日常生活中的牙齿影响问卷》评估正畸治疗对日常生活的影响以及对牙列的满意度。使用NEO五因素问卷评估研究样本的人格特征。组间比较采用卡方检验。研究发现人格特质与正畸治疗后患者对牙列的满意度相关。较高的神经质得分与对牙列的总体满意度呈显著负相关（P < 0.05）。年龄、性别和治疗前正畸治疗需求与患者满意度无关。非拔牙治疗的患者对其牙列表现出更多不满（P < 0.05）。在正畸治疗患者中，较高的神经质得分与较低的牙列满意度相关。
