Quality of Life and Its Importance in Orthodontics
Abstract
Over the last 10-15 years, the terms quality of life (QOL) and health-related quality of life (HRQL) have been seen increasingly in medical literature. Much of the orthodontic treatment that is undertaken is justified on the basis of improving health-related quality of life. With this in mind, studying HRQL in orthodontic patients has the potential to provide information about treatment needs and outcomes, and may also facilitate improved care. Clinicians should therefore be aware of some of the ways in which health-related quality of life may be assessed. The first part of this review article looks at the general concepts of health-related quality of life, whilst the second section focuses on dentistry and orthodontics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
