“…Adolescence is quite complex, and the doctor–patient relationship can be a determining factor towards success of treatment, as well as parental influence, social standing, education, and others. However, we did not evaluate these aspects as they were beyond the scope of this study, and are extensively discussed elsewhere 2–4,8,23…”

Purpose: To determine whether the use of social media is useful in improving compliance and follow-up attendance among patients wearing retainers after orthodontic treatment. Patients and methods: Sixty post-orthodontic patients (aged 16–19 years), randomized in two groups: follow-up supported by participation in WhatsApp chat group (SG), and Control Group (CG). All patients were scheduled for quarterly check-ups for monitoring of orthodontic stability by measurement of intercanine width at the beginning of the study (t 0 ) and every 4 months t 1 , t 2 , t 3 ) for 1 year of observation. Patients in the SG additionally participated in a WhatsApp chat group, where they would send, on a weekly basis, snapshots showing his/her occlusion. Every month, the orthodontist acting as the moderator awarded the best five snapshots by publishing a ranking in the chat. Results: Participants in the SG featured smaller changes from the intercanine widths at baseline (at debonding) compared to the CG patients at all times during 1 year of follow-up. Follow-up attendance was regular in both groups in the first 8 months of follow-up. After that, patient compliance decreased in the CG, with eight patients missing check-up appointments. Conclusion: Engaging adolescent patients directly through WhatsApp activity seems to increase regularity in wearing removable retainers, attendance to follow-up schedule, and yield better long-term outcome in terms of orthodontic stability and compliance.

“…This represents a challenge throughout the educational field: the old approach, based mainly on reading and listening to standardized content, now requires customization and active involvement, using communication tools that are familiar to adolescents. 9,10 The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of an app-based approach applied to a protocol for domestic oral hygiene maintenance in improving hygiene compliance and oral health in a group of adolescent patients wearing fixed multibracket appliances.…”

“…22 Communications between adolescents is growing increasingly immediate and brief, trending toward more frequent communication. 23,24 Frequency of text messages had a positive effect on compliance. Patients in the present study receiving automated messages daily had greater improvement in oral hygiene, with more substantial decreases in the BI, PI, and GI than the weekly group.…”

Objective: To determine whether automated text messages sent daily to adolescent orthodontic patients improves oral hygiene more than weekly reminders. Materials and Methods: A blinded, prospective, randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate the effects of automated messages on oral hygiene. Subjects were recruited from patients undergoing orthodontic treatment at the Texas A&M University College of Dentistry, Department of Orthodontics. They were being treated with a variety of fixed full appliances in both arches. Subjects were randomly assigned to either a once-a-week text message group or a daily text message group. There were 52 females and 27 males who were 12 to 17 years of age. Oral hygiene was measured at the beginning of the study and again 8.6 ± 0.9 weeks later. Results: The daily reminder group (N = 42) had significantly greater improvements in oral hygiene compliance than the weekly reminder group (N = 37). The daily score decreases were 48%, 21% and 19% for the bleeding index (BI), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI), respectively. The weekly score decreases were 27%, 14% and 13% for the BI, PI, and GI. There were no sex differences in hygiene changes during the study. The 42% of patients who completed the survey at the end of the study wanted more frequent messages and reported that messages related to decreasing treatment time were the most effective, while those related to oral hygiene were the least effective. Conclusions: Daily text messages are more effective at improving oral hygiene than weekly text messages.
