We assessed the psychological impact of orthognathic surgery on 13 male and 19 female patients with dento-facial deformities who were between 17 and 35 years of age. MINI automated psychological tests (Gakken Tosyo, Inc., Tokyo) were used to measure the psychological status of each patient before and after surgery. The data was collected and analyzed, and the difference between each score over two periods was determined. We found that more than 50% of the patients had improved scores after surgery. Positive outcomes were seen in 84% of the females and 75% of the males based on the Si score. Fewer showed changes on the D score than on other scores. Positive psychological changes were more common in female patients. There were significant differences in scores on the Pd, Pa, Pt and Si Scales. These findings suggested that orthognathic surgery can improve a patient's psychological state, especially in interpersonal relationships. The survey showed that treatment was more likely to improve the psychological outcome for females.
