This within subject clinical experiment assessed oral health impacts before and after Invisalign orthodontic treatment and their relationships with personality characteristics. 50 patients (26 females and 24 males; mean age = 27.62 ± 8.25 years, SE = 1.17, 95% CI = 24.71-29.89 years) were assessed before and after treatment with Invisalign orthodontic treatment. Treatment clinical success was evaluated according defined clinical guidelines. Oral health impacts before and after Invisalign orthodontic treatment were measured via the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP). Personality features were measured via the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI). Probability of α = .05 was utilized to identify significant findings. Females scored less OHIP scores after treatment (had less negative impacts) in comparison to baseline OHIP scores (t = 3.782, df = 25, P = .001, 95% CI of mean difference = 2.750-9.327). Among males, openness scores (R = .911, B = 5.235, 95% CI for B = 0.062-10.407, t = 2.601, P = .048) were able to predict OHIP scores before treatment; meanwhile, extraversion (R = .959, B = - 8.224, 95% CI for B = - 14.605-1.843, t = - 3.313, P = .021), openness (R = .959, B = 21.795, 95% CI for B = 10.737-32.853, t = 5.067, P = .004), and conscientiousness (R = .959, B = 10.293, 95% CI for B = 4.796-15.790, t = 4.813, P = .005) scores were useful to predict OHIP scores after treatment (R = .959, P < .05). NEO-FFI scores were not useful to predict OHIP scores before or after treatment among females (P > .05). These findings demonstrate that oral health impacts of Invisalign orthodontic treatment and personality profiles contribution to oral health impacts were different between genders.
本项个体临床试验评估了 Invisalign 正畸治疗前后的口腔健康影响及其与个性特征的关系。50 名患者（26 名女性和 24 名男性；平均年龄 27.62±8.25 岁，SE=1.17，95%CI=24.71-29.89 岁）在接受 Invisalign 正畸治疗前后接受了评估。根据既定的临床指南评估治疗的临床成功。通过口腔健康影响量表（OHIP）测量 Invisalign 正畸治疗前后的口腔健康影响。通过 NEO 五因素量表（NEO-FFI）测量个性特征。利用 α=0.05 的概率确定显著发现。与基线 OHIP 评分相比，女性在治疗后（负面影响更小）的 OHIP 评分较低（t=3.782，df=25，P=0.001，95%CI 均值差=2.750-9.327）。在男性中，开放性评分（R=.911，B=5.235，95%CI 置信区间 B=0.062-10.407，t=2.601，P=0.048）可预测治疗前的 OHIP 评分；同时，外向性（R=.959，B= -8.224，95%CI 置信区间 B=-14.605-1.843，t=-3.313，P=0.021）、开放性（R=.959，B=21.795，95%CI 置信区间 B=10.737-32.853，t=5.067，P=0.004）和尽责性（R=.959，B=10.293，95%CI 置信区间 B=4.796-15.790，t=4.813，P=0.005）评分有助于预测治疗后的 OHIP 评分（R=.959，P<.05）。NEO-FFI 评分不能预测女性治疗前后的 OHIP 评分（P>.05）。这些发现表明，Invisalign 正畸治疗的口腔健康影响和人格特征对口腔健康影响的贡献在性别之间存在差异。
