    Dental malocclusion is not a disease but a deviation from the aesthetic norm that requires orthodontic care, as it impacts physical, social, and psychological functioning, which are part of quality of life. It is understood that better aesthetics can lead to psychosocial improvement. Objective: To determine the association between the impact of self-esteem and the need for orthodontic treatment on oral health-related quality of life in children aged 11 to 14 at I.E. San Pedro Santísima Trinidad de Lurín, 2019. Methods: The sample consisted of 150 children, 49.3% male and 50.7% female, with an average age of 12.50 ± 1.08 years (minimum 11 years, maximum 14 years). Results: Self-esteem regarding the need for orthodontic treatment and quality of life, according to the Rosenberg index, demonstrated an association between the need for orthodontic treatment and self-esteem, but no association was found with quality of life or oral health. Additionally, oral health-related quality of life, assessed through the COHIP SF-19 index in relation to the need for orthodontic treatment, showed no statistically significant relationship between these variables. Conclusion: Further studies are proposed to assess the impact of self-esteem in relation to orthodontic treatments, including follow-up of patients after corrective treatments.
