Methods: The study explained the purpose and purport of this study to orthodontic patients who visit dental clinics located in Daejeon and Chungcheong province for about two months from July 01, 2019, and conducted a self‐reported questionnaire survey for 220 participants who agreed to participate in this study. of the collected questionnaires, data of 197 subjects were used for the final analysis except 23 that were inadequate. Results: As for orthodontic treatment satisfaction according to perceived oral health and OHIP, there was statistically significant difference between respondents who were 'very healthy' and 'not healthy' (p<0.05). The higher the supplementary service satisfaction, the higher the orthodontic treatment satisfaction, and the higher the perceived oral health, the OHIP was found to be the higher. The factors affecting OHIP were found to be significantly associated with orthodontic treatment satisfaction and perceived oral health. The explanatory power was 15.6%. Conclusions: Active and ongoing oral health education should be provided to dental hygienists to ensure that the patient's oral cavity is healthy, and although additional services need to be improved, it is more important to have management strategies for patients to improve orthodontic treatment satisfaction.

본 연구는 치열교정치료를 받는 환자를 대상으로 치료 만족도 영향 요인을 조사하여 기대하는 치료만족도와 심리적 만족상태에 관하여 연구하고 진료서비스 향상을 위한 정보를 제공하고자 2009년 1월 20일부터 2월 28일까지 치열교정치료를 전문으로 하는 경기도 S치과의원, 대구광역시 B치과의원, 부산광역시 Y치과의원에서 치료 중인 382명의 환자와 보호자를 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용한 직접면담조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 17.0K를 이용하여 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 심미적(미용) 요인에 따른 교정치료의 만족도는 심미적 건강상태가 나쁜 집단이 4.07점으로 건강상태가 좋은 집단보다 높았으며(p<0.05), 치아배열 요인에 따라서도 건강상태가 좋은 경우가 4.04점으로 나쁜 경우의 3.93점보다 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 2. 교정치료의 필요성에 따른 만족도는 필요성을 많이 인식하고, 진료 내용의 이해도 많은 경우, 교정치료 진행 과정의 적응을 잘하고 있는 경우에 만족도가 높았으며, 교정 치료 후 심리적 변화는 긍정적으로 변한 경우 만족도가 높았다(p<0.001). 3. 교정치료 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 교정치료의 필요성(p<0.001), 교정치료 진행 과정 적응(p<0.001), 교정 치료 후 심리적 변화(p<0.01), 교정치료 후 치아 건강 기대정도(p<0.01), 진료 내용에 대한 이해(p<0.01)의 순으로 유의한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 이러한 연구결과로 치열교정환자의 교정치료의 만족도는 비교적 높은 것으로 나타나므로 환자의 정신심리상태를 파악하여 진료의 질적인 부분과 환자의 기대부분에 세심한 배려가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study investigated the relationship between oral health knowledge, behavior and orthodontic satisfaction in orthodontic patients visiting dental hospitals and clinics and provided suggestions to improve orthodontic patients' satisfaction. This study anayzed structured self-administered questionnaires collected from 245 patients who visited 5 dental clinics in Gwangju Metropolitan City. Regarding oral health knowledge, the highest percentage of correct answers was for the item "Cavities heal themselves over time" (97.1%), and the lowest percentage of correct answers was for the item "Cavity bacteria move from tooth to tooth" (16.7%). Five fluoride items showed a lower percentage of correct answers than those for cavity and gingival diseases. Regarding the survey on oral health behavior, the highest score was found for the item "I brush my teeth with a certain method and order" (3.78 out of 5), and the lowest score was found for the item "I use an electric toothbrush" (1.34 out of 5). Regarding the survey on orthodontic satisfaction, the highest score was found for the item "I would recommend receiving medical treatment at the department of orthodontics" (4.23), and the lowest score was found for the item "Orthodontic cost is reasonable" (3.46). While oral health behavior had on orthodontic satisfaction, oral health knowledge had no effect on it. Oral health behaviors should be improved to enhance orthodontic satisfaction. To improve oral health behavior, it is necessary to develop and activate education programs for tooth brushing and oral care for orthodontic patients.
