There is a paucity of thorough research on society's reaction to dentofacial anomalies, or to other forms of facial disfigurement. The author reviews the studies of the social effects of dental appearance that do exist, and then reports some results of his own researches into reaction to facial disfigurement. It appears from these studies that facial disfigurement (including dentofacial anomalies) can indeed be a cause of social disadvantage.
关于社会对牙颌面畸形或其他面部毁容形式的反应，目前缺乏全面的研究。作者回顾了现有的关于牙齿外观社会影响的研究，然后报告了他自己对面部毁容反应的一些研究结果。从这些研究来看，面部毁容（包括牙颌面畸形）确实可能是社会劣势的一个原因。
