Summary

This study looks at whether corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) can improve depressive symptoms and how patients see their own appearance. Researchers will compare questionnaire results from before and six months after surgery in 20 adults with different types of malocclusion. The goal is to understand the psychological benefits beyond the physical correction.
