Summary

Previously, patient satisfaction with orthodontic treatment has been reported at a broad range of 34% to 95% but these values mostly represent satisfaction for tooth alignment or simple satisfaction with treatment results. In keeping with the increased focus on patient satisfaction, many other factors were put into consideration in our study which contributes to the level of total satisfaction as host factors, concerns regarding the treatment, treatment motivation and discomfort during or after treatment. There are also a lack of studies conducted for orthodontic treatment satisfaction using previously validated questionnaires as well as correlation between patient's treatment satisfaction and ABO grading hasn't been sufficiently discussed in the literature, this study aims to address that gap. It would be also beneficial to investigate the frequency of different malocclusions presented in a sample of postorthodontic patients as it will give an insight about the distribution of the different malocclusion treated within the clinic and the degree of success in treating such malocclusions.
