Background: Understanding the significance, meaning, and self-image that a smile reflects in a person's everyday life is still a hot topic in science.
The aim of this qualitative and exploratory research is to learn more about the impact of self-perception of the mouth and smile on mental representations of self-image and personal well-being.
Materials and Procedures: The convenience sample included
151 boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 24, who used an orthodontic
appliance and were asked to draw two portraits of their mouth/smile.
The findings point to variations in the mental depiction of the mouth and
smile, specifically in the investment of the drawings before and after
orthodontic treatment, as well as in the expressiveness and manifestation of
emotions.
