Gender-specific associations of malocclusion traits with oral health-related quality of life in a Finnish adult population.

CONCLUSION: The associations of malocclusion traits with OHRQoL differed between genders, with women reporting more impacts. Deviations from normal occlusion were generally found to have a negative impact on OHRQoL, but most of the adults with malocclusion seem to adapt to their condition.
