AB  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of the first 8 months of orthodontic treatment 
      with a fixed appliance on the families of adolescent patients and to examine the 
      evaluative properties of the Family Impact Scale (FIS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: 
      The study involved a sample of 94 parents/caregivers of adolescents undergoing 
      orthodontic treatment with a fixed appliance. The participants were asked to 
      answer the Brazilian version of the FIS before treatment (T1) and 8 months after 
      the bonding of the fixed appliance (T2). Statistical analysis was carried out 
      using the Wilcoxon signed rank test and the Bonferroni correction for the overall 
      score and FIS subscales. Responsiveness of the measure and the minimal clinically 
      important difference (MCID) were also assessed. RESULTS: Among the 94 
      participants initially admitted to the present study, two were excluded as a 
      result of treatment dropout and failure to return the second questionnaire. Thus, 
      a sample of 92 parents/caregivers participated (response rate: 97.8%). Among the 
      92 participants, 70 were the mothers of patients, 16 were fathers, and six were 
      other family members. Statistically significant improvements were found in the 
      overall score (P < .001) as well as in both parental activity and parental 
      emotions subscales (P < .001). The reductions in scores were associated with 
      effect sizes showing moderate clinically meaningful changes in the overall FIS 
      and in the parental/family activity, parental emotions, and family conflict 
      subscales. The MCID was 2.66 for the overall FIS. CONCLUSION: The first 8 months 
      of orthodontic treatment with a fixed appliance had a positive impact on the 
      families of adolescents.
