Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
For patients seeking orthodontic treatment body image plays a significant role. But sometimes, some patients are excessively concerned about and preoccupied by a perceived defect in his or her physical features (body image). They focuses on a physical defect that is un-noticeable by others and are suffering from psychological (somatoform) disorder known as Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Therefore, it is essential that orthodontists are aware of the condition as these are cases either with no deformity or are most unsatisfied group. This article concerns about identification of Bdd, its etiology, symptoms, role in orthodontics and management.
