The psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics (PIDA) has a significant effect on well-being and quality of life. This study aimed to explore the latent heterogeneous classes of the PIDA among adolescents and investigate the relationships among identified subtypes and sociodemographic variables, the status of left-behind children, and the clinical manifestations of malocclusion.
A cross-sectional study on the PIDA among 1451 adolescents aged 11 to 12 years in elementary schools in a rural area in Guangxi, China, was conducted. The PIDA on adolescents was also investigated via latent profile analysis; each predictor was tested via ordinal logistic regression.
Three latent classes for the PIDA were identified: low-risk (48.2%), medium-risk (39.8%), and high-risk (11.9%) groups. There were significant differences among the three latent classes. The results revealed that being female, The duration of maternal employment outside the hometown, the largest anterior maxillary irregularity, the largest anterior mandibular irregularity, and the antero-posterior molar relationship (ORs of 1.737, 1.138, 1.117, 1.157, and OR = 1.242; P < 0.001, < 0.01, < 0.01, < 0.01 and < 0.05, respectively) had significant effects on the PIDA on adolescents.
The occlusal features, being female and the duration of maternal employment outside the hometown are risk factors that influence the PIDA on adolescents. This provides an evidence for improving the PIDA status among rural adolescents.
口腔美学的心理社会影响（PIDA）对幸福感和生活质量有重大影响。本研究旨在探讨青少年 PIDA 的潜在异质类别，并研究已确定的亚型与社会人口学变量、留守儿童状况以及错颌畸形的临床表现之间的关系。
对中国广西农村地区小学 11 至 12 岁的 1451 名青少年进行了 PIDA 的横断面研究。通过潜在剖面分析对青少年的 PIDA 进行了调查；通过有序逻辑回归测试了每个预测变量。
确定了三个 PIDA 的潜在类别：低风险（48.2%）、中风险（39.8%）和高风险（11.9%）组。三个潜在类别之间存在显著差异。结果表明，女性、母亲在外就业时间、最大上前牙不规则、最大下前牙不规则和前磨牙关系（比值比分别为 1.737、1.138、1.117、1.157 和 OR=1.242；P<0.001、<0.01、<0.01、<0.01 和 <0.05）对青少年的 PIDA 有显著影响。
牙合特征、女性和母亲在外就业时间是影响青少年 PIDA 的危险因素。这为改善农村青少年 PIDA 状况提供了依据。
