摘      要：Background:Although oral health-related quality of life(OHRQoL)in orthodontic patients has been assessed in the past,to date,no study has compared the OHRQoL between two *** aimed to compare the OHRQoL between Chinese and American orthodontic ***:We conducted a two-center questionnaire-based cross-sectional study among patients who underwent orthodontic treatments at the Chinese PLA General Hospital(PLAGH)in Beijing,China and Massachusetts General Hospital(MGH)in Boston,Massachusetts,United *** variables included the participating center,patients’age,sex,Angle’s classification of malocclusion,evaluation stage,and appliances *** primary outcome was patients’OHRQoL assessed with the Oral Health Impact Profile-14(OHIP-14).Descriptive statistics,stratification,and univariate and multivariate analyses were ***:The average age was lower for PLAGH patients than for MGH patients(21.1±7.9 vs.33.1±14.6 years,P0.001).The most common type of malocclusion was Angle’s Class III malocclusion at PLAGH(39%)and Class I malocclusion at MGH(59.5%).Clear aligners were used in 34.1%and 2.7%of the patients at MGH and PLAGH,***-14 scores were lower for PLAGH patients than for MGH patients(18.4±4.7 vs.22.3±7.4,P0.001),particularly in functional limitation,psychological discomfort/disability,and *** regression analysis demonstrated that participating center,age,Class I malocclusion,and the use of clear aligners were significantly associated with overall OHIP-14 *** regression analysis demonstrated that patients at PLAGH were associated with lower OHIP-14 scores(coefficient:-3;95%CI:-5,-1.3;P=0.001),and age was positively associated with OHIP-14 scores(coefficient:0.1;95%CI:0.004,0.13;P=0.038).Conclusion:Chinese orthodontic patients had lower OHIP-14 scores,indicating a higher OHRQoL than American *** addition to the younger age,this difference may be attributed to the different ethical
