“…Six hours after the placement of the fixed orthodontic appliance, the pain had a decreasing trend. Similarly, Grewal et al [ 15 ], Shenoy et al [ 16 ], Eslamian et al [ 17 ], and Topolski et al [ 18 ] reported that the peak of pain was experienced six hours after the beginning of the orthodontic treatment.…”

BackgroundThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of bite raisers on patients' body mass index (BMI), nutrient intake, periodontal status, and pain experienced during orthodontic treatment. Material and MethodsThis cohort study included 44 patients aged 18 to 35 years old; undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Patients of the intervention group received a composite resin bite raiser (3M Espe, St. Paul, USA) over their first mandibular molars along with fixed orthodontic appliances (slot 0.022 × 0.030", 3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif), while the control group only received a fixed orthodontic appliance. Pain levels using the visual analog scale (VAS), dietary intake (calories, proteins, carbohydrate, and fat intake), body mass index (BMI), tooth mobility, bleeding on probing (BOP), and pocket depth (PD) were assessed for all patients in the first three months after fixed orthodontic appliance placement. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22.0 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY, USA) at a significance level of 0.05. ResultsThe pain had an increasing and then decreasing significant trend during the study for all patients (P<0.001). Calory intake also had an increasing and then decreasing significant trend for all participants (P=0.007). The consumption of carbohydrates and BMI significantly decreased during the study in both groups of patients (P<0.01) and tooth mobility, BOP, and PD significantly increased for all participants (P<0.001). No significant differences were observed between the intervention and control groups in terms of the abovementioned variables. ConclusionThe application of bite raiser does not influence patients' pain, dietary intake, BMI, and periodontal status. However, fixed orthodontic appliances affect patients' calorie and carbohydrate intake, patients' BMI, and periodontal indexes including tooth mobility, BOP, and PD.

“…It can also be a sign of other problems that need attention. Managing pain promptly helps patients feel comfortable, improves treatment results, and ensures satisfaction with orthodontic care [ 4 , 18 ]. With the internet’s widespread distribution, people are increasingly turning to online sources for educating themselves with information about their health concerns and treatment options.…”

“…Therefore, to improve how to manage pain and discomfort, orthodontists must gain an understanding into the pain produced by orthodontic procedures. Orthodontists can better help patients by improving pain management and enhancing acceptance of required treatment stages with a more educated viewpoint [ 18 ]. This results in greater adherence to the intended procedure and more satisfaction with overall outcomes.…”

Background This study assesses the quality and readability of Arabic online information about orthodontic pain. With the increasing reliance on the internet for health information, especially among Arabic speakers, it’s critical to ensure the accuracy and comprehensiveness of available content. Our methodology involved a systematic search using the Arabic term for (Orthodontic Pain) in Google, Bing, and Yahoo. This search yielded 193,856 results, from which 74 websites were selected based on predefined criteria, excluding duplicates, scientific papers, and non-Arabic content. Materials and methods For quality assessment, we used the DISCERN instrument, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmarks, and the Health on the Net (HON) code. Readability was evaluated using the Simplified Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG), Flesch Reading Ease Score (FRES), and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL) scores. Results Results indicated that none of the websites received the HONcode seal. The DISCERN assessment showed median total scores of 14.96 (± 5.65), with low overall quality ratings. In JAMA benchmarks, currency was the most achieved aspect, observed in 45 websites (60.81%), but none met all four criteria simultaneously. Readability scores suggested that the content was generally understandable, with a median FKGL score of 6.98 and a median SMOG score of 3.98, indicating middle school-level readability. Conclusion This study reveals a significant gap in the quality of Arabic online resources on orthodontic pain, highlighting the need for improved standards and reliability. Most websites failed to meet established quality criteria, underscoring the necessity for more accurate and trustworthy health information for Arabic-speaking patients.

“…14 Pain is a highly subjective experience. 28 The perception of pain covers various multidimensional aspects, and its intensity and discomfort can be expressed in different ways. 29 Earlier studies evaluated patients' perceptions only up to 6 months after debonding.…”

Backgrounds and Objectives: The use of a retainer in the retention phase creates different perceptions amongst patients. However, the evidence regarding it is limited. This research was conducted to analyze the difference in patients&’ perception of discomfort and aesthetics between Hawley and vacuum-formed retainers. Methods: This study included 80 patients ( n per group = 40). Patients were invited to participate if they had completed their treatment for 6 months to 5 years and complied with the inclusion criteria. Seven questions were given to the patients using a digital-based questionnaire. Each was asked twice to address both maxillary and mandibular retainers. Responses were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale. Blinding was applied through data analysis. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in the perception of the aesthetic, shape, and retainer color. Statistically significant differences were not found in the perception of comfort, pain, sharpness, pressure, presence of soft tissue cut, and confidence level with the retainer in place. No harm was observed to any patients during the study. Conclusions: Vacuum-formed retainers (VFRs) were more acceptable than Hawley retainers (HRs) regarding the retainer&’s aesthetic, shape, and color. There were no significant differences between HRs and VFRs regarding patient perception of discomfort and confidence when using the retainer.
