| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Dentofacial deformities can impact individuals’ ability to speak and eat, appearance, and mental well-being, often causing social anxiety and psychiatric issues. This study evaluates psychological changes in 33 patients with skeletal Class 3 anomalies (aged 16–31, 8 males, 25 females) undergoing orthognathic surgery. Patients were divided into single-jaw and double-jaw groups. Data were collected using the state-trait anxiety inventory, orthognathic quality of life questionnaire, Beck depression inventory, and Rosenberg self-esteem scale, analyzed through Mann-Whitney U and Friedman tests <em><italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">via</italic></em> SPSS 21. Results showed high self-esteem levels throughout treatment. Six months post-surgery, the asymmetry group reported significantly lower interpersonal danger experiences compared to the symmetry group. Depression was not detected, despite minor individual variations. State anxiety in the single-jaw group rose mildly preoperatively (T1) but remained moderate postoperatively (T2, T3), while the double-jaw group consistently exhibited moderate anxiety levels. Trait anxiety was stable and moderate across both groups. Orthognathic surgery improved overall and specific quality-of-life measures. In the double-jaw group, quality of life enhancements were more pronounced by the sixth month post-surgery. These findings suggest orthognathic surgery positively impacts psychological well-being alongside functional and aesthetic improvements.</p> |
