BackgroundTemporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a prevalent ailment with a global impact, affecting a substantial number of individuals. While some individuals are receiving treatment from orthodontists for TMD, a significant proportion of individuals obtain knowledge through websites.ObjectivesOur purpose had been to evaluate, from a patient‐oriented perspective, the readability of home pages of websites scored in the 10 most prominent devoted to TMD. We also determined what level of education would have been needed to get an overview of the information on the websites under scrutiny. This approach ensures that our findings are centred on the patient experience, providing insights into how accessible and understandable websites about TMD.MethodsWe determined the top 10 patient‐focused English language websites by searching for ‘temporomandibular disorders’ in the ‘no country redirect’ plugin of the Google Chrome browser (www.google.com/ncr). The readability of the texts was assessed using the Gunning fog index (GFI), Coleman Liau index (CLI), Automated readability index (ARI) Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG), Flesch Kincald grade level (FKGL), Flesh reasing ease (FRE) (https://readabilityformulas.com).ResultsThe mean Flesch reading ease index score was determined to be 48.67, accompanied by a standard deviation of 15.04 and these websites require an average of 13.49 years of formal education (GFI), with a standard deviation of 2.62, for ease of understanding.ConclusionOur research indicates that a significant proportion of websites related to TMD can be defined as a level of complexity that exceeds the ability to read comprehension of the general population.

Background This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) toward oral health management among orthodontic patients. Methods A cross-sectional study on orthodontic patients was conducted at Suzhou Dushu Lake Hospital from December 20, 2023, to March 19, 2024. Demographic data and KAP scores were collected using self-designed questionnaires. The cutoff for adequate KAP dimension scores was 70%. Results The study included 418 orthodontic patients, of whom 274 (65.55%) were female, and 144 (34.45%) were male. The average age was 32.70 ± 8.47 years (33.72 ± 8.46 in females and 32.17 ± 8.44 in males). The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 11.80 ± 4.06 (possible range: 0–16), 27.00 ± 3.18 (possible range: 6–30), and 31.13 ± 6.01 (possible range: 8–40), respectively. The proportions of participants who scored above a cutoff of 70% were 247 (59.09%) for knowledge, 403 (96.41%) for attitude, and 290 (69.38%) for practice. Multivariate logistic regression showed that knowledge score (OR = 1.243, 95% CI: [1.152–1.342], P < 0.001), attitude score (OR = 1.255, 95% CI: [1.140–1.381], P < 0.001), and wearing an appliance for 3 to 6 months (OR = 4.309, 95% CI: [1.565–11.861], P = 0.005) were independently linked to proactive practice. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that knowledge directly influenced attitude (β = 0.684, P < 0.001) and practice (β = 0.527, P < 0.001), while attitude had a direct impact on practice (β = 0.587, P < 0.001). Conclusions The majority of orthodontic patients demonstrated adequate knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practices toward oral health management. Nonetheless, continuous education is still essential for certain groups, such as recently fitted orthodontic patients, to ensure sustained improvement in oral health outcomes.
