A dual perception of an ageing orofacial appearance— an interview study
The older adults in this study had a dual perception in relation to their own OA. Although society often values a younger looking appearance, striving for a youthful appearance is seen negatively, which may potentially reflect the complexities of the perceptions of one's own ageing OA. Only those with dental issues found the impact of teeth on OA perception to be particularly significant.
