Objective To study the relationship between treatment compliance and mental health in patients with orthodontics. Methods A total of 150 patients with orthodontics from July 2016 to June 2018 were selected as subjects. According to their treatment compliance, they were divided into the good compliance group, the general compliance group, and the poor compliance group. Another 60 cases of oral health in the same period were selected as the control group. The four groups of mental health scales (SCL-90) were compared including physical discomfort, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostile attitudes, horror symptoms, paranoid thinking, abnormal words and deeds, and discomfort in life. Results Among 150 patients with orthodontics, the score was ≥80 points in 65 cases, the compliance rate was 43.33%; the score was 79-60 points in 60 cases, the general rate of compliance was 40.00%; the score was <60 points in 25 cases, and the compliance rate was 16.67%. In the SCL-90 score, the physical discomfort, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostile attitude, horror symptoms, paranoid thinking, abnormal behavior, and discomfort dimensions were significantly lower in the compliance group than in the general group. The poor adherence group was significantly higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Treatment adherence was not associated with physical discomfort, human and sensitive, hostile attitude, horrible symptoms, and paranoid thinking in SCL-90 (P>0.05); obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depression, anxiety, abnormal behaviors in SCL-90 There was a positive correlation between life discomfort (P<0.05). Conclusion The compliance of orthodontic treatment is mainly related to mental health problems such as obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depression and anxiety. Clinically, intervention measures can be taken to improve patient compliance and promote orthodontic effects.
