OBJECTIVE:     To evaluate the extent to which different types of @entity3232 influence the development of affective/romantic relationships among young adults of both sexes. MATERIALS AND METHODS:     A cross-sectional study was conducted with 360 @entity1 and @entity1 ranging in age from 18 years to 25 years. Criteria for exclusion from the sample were the following: @entity1 could not be married, @entity227 , or students of a higher education course in the area of health. In this study, images of young adult @entity1 and @entity1 in the same age range as that of the evaluators were used. These images were manipulated to create different types of @entity3232 : @entity14773 , open bite, crowding, gingival (or gummy) smile, little exposure of teeth. Six groups of images containing six images each were formed and consisted of two experimental images (digitally manipulated) and four control images. These images were provided to the @entity1 , who evaluated them by means of a questionnaire and a visual analog scale. The Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, chi-square, and Fisher exact tests were used for data analysis. RESULTS:     All @entity3232 had a negative impact on acceptance by the evaluators for the purposes of affective/romantic relationships, with crowding being the type of @entity3232 that led to the highest level of rejection (P < .01). CONCLUSION:     Malocclusions have a negative influence on the development of affective/romantic relationships among young adults. Individuals with @entity432 are seen in a more positive light, from the perspective of affective life.
