Abstract

|
|
Objective: To identify the effect of orthognathic surgery on patients’ self-esteem, effects of surgery, motivations, and perception of treatment methods.
Methods: A survey was conducted in patients who received orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment, and the results of the survey were analyzed using the SAS System for Windows V 9.3 program.
Results: Of the 208 respondents (83 men, 125 women), the majority of patients selected overcoming inferiority complexes and recovering self-confidence as motivations and improvements after the surgery. The improvements in self-esteem and masticatory function after orthognathic surgery were statistically significant. More than half of the respondents answered that the possibility of post-surgical effects was the factor they were most worried about before surgery. Moreover, the number of patients that felt change in pronunciation after surgery was 1.5 times more than those that did not. As for treatment methods, the majority preferred a surgery-first approach, and regarding considerations, most answered that choosing between surgery-first/orthodontic correction-first was not a decisive factor.
Conclusion: The results could be used as a reference to explain treatment plans to patients requiring surgery. Subsequent studies about several variables related to the psychological effects caused by 2-jaw surgery are required.
