the smile conveys joy, congeniality and is one of the best ’ business cards ’. The appearance of the face is another factor that has a significant role in personal attractiveness and influence the acceptance of his own image and self-esteem. However, not all feel comfortable with your smile and your face due to dental problems. “ the bad dental occlusion, incorrect positioning of the teeth and other dentofacial anomalies affect the aesthetic and functional part of the mouth and its structures, causing painful symptoms, says Gerson †Köhler, specialist in orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics.
tension headaches, pain in the facial muscles, functional changes of face joints, migraine, tinnitus and pain sensation in the ears are some symptoms that are related to issues of form and function of the oral area. “ excessive masticatory muscle action, especially when apertamentos occur, nocturnal and diurnal unilateral chewing inappropriate, can also trigger these these discomforting symptoms affecting the head , the face and the neck â€, says Gerson, who is part of the interdisciplinary team of Köhler Ortofacial.
more than the desire to have a beautiful smile, the need to treat the cause of these symptoms take many adults to seek orthodontic treatments. To fix the position of the teeth, as the mouth closes and the way the dental arches fit aesthetic, functional benefits, both physical and psychological. “ dentofacial anomalies, including teeth, dental arches and masticatory muscles in the overall context of the face, has significant implications for the physical and mental health and psychosocial behavior and interaction of the people â€,

A scientific study published in the European Journal of Orthodontics, analyzed a sample of people with orthodontic problems. About 40% of the analyzed Group felt physical and psychological discomfort because of malocclusion of the teeth and their reflection in the harmony and beauty of the face. Of this percentage, 71% of respondents were women. “ the feeling of nuisance caused by the problems that affect the mouth and the face is reflected in the experience of individuals, mostly women, who are more demanding about their body appearance than men, says Gerson â€.
according to the survey, the main complaints of the patients were chewing difficulties, speech problems and issues related to neuromuscular dentofacial anomalies. The study also revealed that the individual perception of the physical and psychological benefits promoted by orthodontic treatment is directly linked to socioeconomic status and knowledge of individuals on dental and facial changes. “ adults should know that the absence of these anomalies treatment affects the overall health and longevity of a healthy mouth â€.
the orthodontic correction of oral problems also ensures a face with more aesthetic appearance, harmonic and jovial. To the orthodontist, this is one of the main psychological motivations of adults for search of orthodontic correction treatments. “ there is a questionnaire used by professionals in the area that helps the patient to better understand and define more precisely their complaints related to the pursuit of harmony, facial and mouth smile. The concerns and expectations of the adult patient should be clear to the expert, so the use of this method is important, says â€.
the questionnaire was developed by leading researchers in the area of facial beauty and harmony and is considered crucial to guide expectations about orthodontic treatment. “ I recommend conducting an assessment for those who want to know how is your health and dentofacial appearance. Deal with the issues that influence the form and function of the face and mouth brings enormous benefits in terms of health and aesthetics, in addition to promoting well-being and quality of life â€, adds Gerson, a visiting professor of the Graduate School of the FEDERAL UNIVERSITY of PARANà since 1988.
