“…14 The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the introduction of virtual treatment monitoring, with subsequent studies demonstrating the practicality of teledentistry in emergency situations and its potential applicability in regular circumstances. [15][16][17] A scoping review emphasized the diverse applications of teledentistry in orthodontics, including ceph allometric diagnostic apps, reminder apps, and remote monitoring via apps. 18 While models generated from photos and videos are clinically accurate, proper patient training is essential for obtaining adequate images.…”

The orthodontic field has undergone a transformative evolution marked by recent advances, encompassing innovations in appliances, diagnostic aids, bonding, materials and AI. A notable progression includes the integration of 3D imaging systems and its application in the field of Orthodontics. Over the past decade, orthodontics has experienced substantial growth propelled by advancements in brackets, bonding agents, technology, and the incorporation of mini-implants. The imperative for heightened efficiency in orthodontic clinics has spurred technological improvements aimed at facilitating superior, quicker, and more convenient patient treatment.Recent breakthroughs in orthodontics have revolutionized clinical practices, elevating efficiency and broadening the array of available treatment options. These innovations contribute to increased patient throughput, enabling orthodontists to provide enhanced care. The continual evolution of orthodontic technologies ensures a dynamic and responsive field, marked by ongoing endeavours to refine and advance treatment modalities.

“…They found a strong significant association between pain intensity and orthodontic emergencies with the most encountered problem being broken or movable bracket. Lamb et al 8 found that orthodontists increased clear aligners use during the pandemic in response to patient demand. Another two studies 9 , 10 investigated the impact caused by the coronavirus pandemic on patient care, psychological state, and financial income, but the findings were solely from the perspectives of orthodontists.…”

Purpose There is an overall paucity of data examining the specific details of orthodontic patients’ patterns or orthodontic service disruptions possibly influenced by COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on orthodontic clinic disruption regarding the change in adult patients’ characteristics and decisions of orthodontic treatment devices. Patients and Methods A retrospective sample of 311 patients receiving orthodontic treatment from 2018 to 2022 were collected and divided into two groups: before (n = 167) and during (n = 144) the COVID-19 pandemic. Demographics, dental indices, the index of complexity outcome and need (ICON), and the degree of treatment difficulty were analyzed. Results There were fewer students among patients during the COVID-19 pandemic than before (24.5% versus 35.9%, P = 0.036). Compared with patients before the pandemic, more patients selected ceramic brackets or Invisalign during the pandemic (P = 0.022). There were higher percentage of class I dental malocclusions among patients during than before the COVID-19 pandemic (P = 0.044). Moreover, the ICON score and the score of the degree of treatment difficulty were both significantly lower for patients during than before the COVID-19 pandemic (63.9±14.0 versus 58.3±15.3, P=0.001 and 7.4±2.6 versus 6.8±2.6, P=0.049, respectively). Conclusion The COVID-19 pandemic influenced the characteristics and decisions of orthodontic patients. Those who still came to the orthodontic clinic despite the COVID-19 outbreak may have been those with less malocclusion severity and treatment difficulty. Besides, during the time of covid-19 pandemic, more patients chose ceramic bracket and Invisalign as their orthodontic treatment device rather than conventional or self-ligating metal brackets.

“…The authors concluded that teleorthodontics is a relevant contribution to the management of orthodontic emergencies in case of contact person limitation. Recently, Lamb et al [ 26 ] investigated the adaptations of orthodontic practice during the COVID-19 pandemic and the adaptations which were expected to stay after the crisis by a survey of 34 questions, sent by email in June 2021 to 1000 orthodontist specialists. With a hundred and sixty surveys returned from 38 different states across the United States (16% response rate), the results showed that during the COVID-19 crisis, the utilization of teleorthodontics increased from 8% to 68%.…”

Patient’s and Practionner’s Experiences of a First Face-to-Face vs. Remote Orthodontic Consultation: A Randomized Controlled Trial

2023

(1) Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess patients’ and practitioners’ reported experience measures (PREMs) following a first standard orthodontic consultation (face-to-face consultation) versus a first orthodontic teleconsultation (video-assisted remote orthodontic consultation).; (2) Materials and Methods: This study was designed as a randomized controlled trial in which 60 patients were randomly allocated to two groups. In the control group, patients received a first face-to-face consultation (n = 30) whereas, in the test group, patients received a first orthodontic teleconsultation (n = 30). Patients as well as the orthodontic practitioners completed questionnaires after the experience. (3) Results: From the patients’ point of view, overall satisfaction was comparable between the control group and the test group (p = 0.23). Quality of communication with the clinician, understanding of the explanations provided and a sense of privacy were also comparable between the two groups. However, from the practitioners’ perspective, overall satisfaction after the face-to-face consultation was significantly higher than after the first remote consultation (p < 0.01). (4) Conclusions: In the context of a first orthodontic consultation, teleorthodontics appears to be an interesting and complementary approach to a classical face-to-face appointment, but which should by no means become systematic.
