Abstract

The impact of selfies on adolescents serves a great deal in affecting their self esteem and quality of life. Selfies allow the individual to closely scrutinize and criticize themselves everyday by dint of their imperfections. The need for orthodontic treatment may arise from this scrutiny which is aided by comments and remarks by peers or on social networking websites.
