    A total of 226 secondary school adolescents participated in this study to determine the presence and severity of malocclusion. The observation technique using the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) (Appendix 1) was employed to calculate the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics, which was assessed using the PIDAQ questionnaire (Appendix 2). The study was conducted at the Educational Institution of Pomabamba - Ancash, where the following data were evaluated: malocclusion, psychosocial impact, gender, and age. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 22 statistical package, with a significance level of 0.05. The relationship between malocclusion and social impact in secondary school adolescents was observed. In the case of absence: mild malocclusion 20.8% (47), evident malocclusion 22.1% (50), severe malocclusion 20.4% (46), and very severe malocclusion 22.1% (50). In the case of presence: mild malocclusion 2.7% (6), evident malocclusion 3.1% (7), severe malocclusion 4% (9), and very severe malocclusion 4.9% (11). Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between malocclusion and psychosocial impact.
