Overview

Narrative review highlights high BDD prevalence and diagnostic challenges in orthodontics, suggesting the need for screening.

Key Points

  • Prevalence of BDD is significantly higher in orthodontic patients, ranging from 7% to 12% compared to 1.7% to 2.4% in the general population.
  • Common risk factors for BDD include perfectionism and prior bullying, complicating the diagnostic process in orthodontics.
  • Interdisciplinary management and mental health professional involvement are essential to ensure proper treatment and minimize risks.
  • Routine screening for BDD should be integrated into orthodontic evaluations to prevent treatment failures and psychological issues.
