본 연구는 치과교정치료 환자의 구강건강관련 삶의 질과 구강보건행동 변화를 알아보기 위해 교정치료를 완료한 성인 300명을 대상으로 설문조사를 시행하였다. 수집된 자료의 분석은 spss22.0프로그램을 이용하여 분석 하였다. 교정치료전은 사회적인 요인이(4.68) 관련 삶의 질 점수가 가장 낮게 나타났고, 교정치료 후에는 사회적 요인 관련 삶의 질이 3.72점 높아져 가장 높은 증가를 나타냈다. 구강보건행동변화는 정기적인 스켈링이 교정 전에 비해 교정 후가 1.28점 더 증가하였다. 교정치료를 통해 구강건강 삶의 질과 구강보건행동이 변화 된 바 치과의 전문인력은 환자 개개인별 맞춤형 구강보건교육을 통해 적절한 관리를 기울일 필요가 있으며 교정치료 환자의 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해 적절한 접근법 개발이 필요하다.

Objectives: This study is to assess the correlation of the changes in dental health-related quality of life before, during, and after orthodontic treatments in the patients. Methods: The self-administered survey was conducted in the patients who completed orthodontic treatments living in Seoul and metropolitan areas using Oral Impact on Daily Performances (OIDP) to identify the relevant factors. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics of variables, independent t-test, one way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. Results: From observations of OIDP before, during, and after orthodontic treatment, discomfort associated with three factors including physical, psychological and social ones showed the statistically significant increases during orthodontic treatment than before the treatment; whereas, it was dramatically dropped afterward. Multiple regression analysis to find the influential factors of satisfaction level on orthodontic treatment by setting before, during, and after OIDP as independent variables and satisfaction on orthodontic treatment as a dependent variable revealed that OIDP before orthodontic treatment and after orthodontic treatment significantly affected satisfaction on orthodontic treatment. Conclusions: The above analysis on the change in patients' dental health-related quality of life showed that the quality of life improved after the orthodontic treatment. Accordingly, patients' quality of life and satisfaction level on orthodontic treatment are expected to improve if they strive to maintain healthy dental health through orthodontic treatment.
