From January 2019 to March 2020, participants were consecutively enrolled. The assessment of OHRQoL involved measurement using the oral health impact profile (OHIP-14). Lateral cephalograms were performed to measure the vertical skeletal divergency with four cephalometric measurements. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed. The Mann\u2013Whitney test was applied to compare OHRQoL scores according to the vertical dimension category. The mean age of the participants ranged between 30.3 \u00b1 14.9 and 29.9 \u00b1 14.4 and there was a majority of female participants, between 64.1% and 65.9%. There were no statistically significant differences observed between hyperdivergent and normodivergent groups in either the total score or any domain of the OHIP-14 questionnaire. Individuals with hyperdivergent facial morphology did not show a reduced OHRQoL compared with a normodivergent facial type.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13030665","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,24]],"date-time":"2024-01-24T07:42:16Z","timestamp":1706082136000},"page":"665","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Vertical Dentofacial Skeletal Divergency Is Not Linked with Oral Health-Related Quality of Life"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7529-9025","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dinis","family":"Pereira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthodontics Department, Clinical Research Unit (CRU), Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), Egas Moniz School of Health and Science, 2829-511 Caparica, Portugal"},{"name":"Clinical Research Unit (CRU), CiiEM, Egas Moniz School of Health and Science, 2829-511 Caparica, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2503-260X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vanessa","family":"Machado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Research Unit (CRU), CiiEM, Egas Moniz School of Health and Science, 2829-511 Caparica, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1019-8263","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Botelho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Research Unit (CRU), CiiEM, Egas Moniz School of Health and Science, 2829-511 Caparica, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Carolina","family":"Lemos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Population Studies Department, Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar (ICBAS), UniGENe, Institute for Molecular and Cell Biology (IBMC), Instituto de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o e Inova\u00e7\u00e3o em Sa\u00fade (i3S), University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"UniGENe, Institute for Molecular and Cell Biology (IBMC), University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Instituto de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o e Inova\u00e7\u00e3o em Sa\u00fade (i3S), University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0167-4077","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Jo\u00e3o","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Research Unit (CRU), CiiEM, Egas Moniz School of Health and Science, 2829-511 Caparica, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ana Sintra","family":"Delgado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthodontics Department, Clinical Research Unit (CRU), Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), Egas Moniz School of Health and Science, 2829-511 Caparica, Portugal"},{"name":"Clinical Research Unit (CRU), CiiEM, Egas Moniz School of Health and Science, 2829-511 Caparica, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"503","article-title":"Relationship between the severity of malocclusion and oral health related quality of life: A systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"16","author":"Sun","year":"2017","journal-title":"Oral Health Prev.
