Background and Aims: Malocclusion in orthodontics is one of the dental and jaw abnormalities that can cause psychosocial and social problems. Personality traits, body image, and self-concept are different in orthodontic applicants due to the different effects of malocclusions on appearance and psychological well-being. The aim of this study was to investigate the personality traits, body image, and self-concept in patients seeking orthodontic treatment in Tabriz-Iran in 1400.
Materials and Methods: The statistical population of the study included all patients requesting orthodontic treatment whom were referred to one of the orthodontic clinics in Tabriz during 1399-1400. This study was performed on 149 patients seeking orthodontic treatment (127 females and 22 males) by Convenience Sampling method. Neo personality traits, the Body Image Concern, and Marsh body self-concept questionnaires were used. SPSS software was used for data analysis.
Results: According to the results, neuroticism, agreement, conscience, extraversion and openness to experience were high in orthodontic patients (P<0.05). The average dissatisfaction with body image was high (P<0.05). Also, the body outside self-concept was low and the self-esteem was high (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Personality factors, body image, and self-concept are three effective psychological characteristics in patients seeking orthodontic treatment. Therefore, the request for orthodontic treatment is largely due to psychological factors such as differences in personality traits, body image, and self-concept.
