The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), which combines neural networks and fuzzy logic, was applied to assess the predictive relationship between seven OES-SERB domains and a global self-rated quality-of-life score. The data set was divided into a training subset (70%) for model development and a validation subset (30%) for internal validation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Participants without orthodontic anomalies or tooth loss reported significantly higher satisfaction across most OES-SERB domains (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.001 to 0.032). The ANFIS model demonstrated limited generalization, with high validation error across predictors. Among all domains, satisfaction with the shape\/form of teeth showed the most stable predictive performance, whereas gingival appearance did not generalize well due to overfitting.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The OES-SERB is a promising instrument for evaluating orofacial esthetic perceptions in the Serbian population.
