Abstract (English): Face masks are an effective shield against the spread of coronavirus. Although some controversy and politicization persist, experts have proven their value for both the wearer and the community, thereby discrediting detractors. Like all healthcare professionals, we dentists must vigorously defend face mask use in accordance with the guidelines of health authorities. However, the widespread and long-standing use of face masks has some undesirable psychological effects that are also noticeable in orthodontics: 1) By concealing a person's face, masks hide malocclusions and dentofacial deformities and can make patients less motivated to seek orthodontic treatment. 2) Face masks also hide esthetic improvement produced by treatment, which can mitigate its psychotherapeutic effects. 3) Masked faces are a reminder of the widespread risk of contagion, which may discourage potential patients from scheduling appointments with any dentist. In COVID-19 times, orthodontists must be able to enhance patients' motivation and highlight the biopsychosocial benefits of treating malocclusions or dentofacial deformities. They must further allay patients' fear of contagion and make the case that masking poses an opportunity for orthodontic treatment during a time when the appliances will go unnoticed under the face mask. Once the pandemic is over, the restored smiles of orthodontic patients will help soften its emotional aftermath in our post-COVID 19 society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): La mascarilla constituye un escudo eficaz contra la propagación del coronavirus. Aunque en ciertos ámbitos su uso por parte de la población general ha estado marcado por las controversias y la politización, los expertos han demostrado su valor preventivo tanto para el individuo como para la colectividad, desacreditando así a sus detractores. Los dentistas, como todos los profesionales de la salud, debemos posicionarnos claramente a favor, según las directrices de las autoridades sanitarias. Sin embargo, el uso generalizado y prolongado de las mascarillas tiene algunos efectos psicológicos indeseables que también se manifiestan en el terreno de la ortodoncia: a) al ocultar la cara de las personas, las mascarillas ocultan asimismo las maloclusiones y deformidades dentofaciales y pueden hacer que los pacientes se sientan menos motivados para solicitar un tratamiento de ortodoncia; b) las mascarillas también ocultan la mejoría estética producida por la ortodoncia, lo que puede mitigar sus efectos psicoterapéuticos, y c) la imagen de toda la población con mascarilla recuerda el riesgo global de contagio, lo que puede desalentar a los potenciales pacientes para acudir a la consulta de cualquier dentista. En estos tiempos de la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), los ortodoncistas deben aumentar la motivación de los pacientes destacando los beneficios biopsicosociales del tratamiento de las maloclusiones y deformidades dentofaciales. Además, deben disipar el temor de la población al contagio en las consultas y argumentar que el uso generalizado de la mascarilla representa una buena oportunidad para el tratamiento ortodóncico, ya que los aparatos pasarán desapercibidos. Una vez que la pandemia termine, las sonrisas restauradas de los pacientes de ortodoncia contribuirán a neutralizar las secuelas emocionales de nuestra sociedad post-COVID 19. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
