“…A possible explanation is the use of short follow-up periods, usually no longer than six months. Regardless of this it is noticeable that removable appliances are worn less than prescribed, which is in accordance with the findings of the systematic reviews by Al-Moghrabi et al and Nahajowski et al [ 1 , 77 ]. A few studies report minimum required appliance wear times in order to achieve significant treatment results.…”

“…The aim of this scoping review was to provide an evidence-based overview of the literature available on multiple aspects of patient adherence in orthodontics and identify knowledge gaps. There are no other comprehensive reviews available on patient adherence in orthodontics, only reviews on specific topics of adherence such as the wear time of removable appliances during active treatment [ 1 , 77 ], methods to improve adherence to oral hygiene instructions [ 78 , 79 ] and the effect of mobile apps and reminder messages on patient adherence [ 80 – 83 ]. By maintaining a broad research topic it was possible to provide a more comprehensive overview of adherence in orthodontics which created the opportunity to identify knowledge gaps important to every oral healthcare professional practicing orthodontics.…”

Background Patient adherence is a key factor in achieving orthodontic treatment success. Despite an evolution in orthodontic healthcare, no recent comprehensive reviews are available on patient adherence in orthodontics. This scoping review provides an evidence-based overview of the literature available on multiple aspects of patient adherence in orthodontics, during both active treatment as well as during the retention phase. Knowledge gaps identified in the literature are listed. Methods The protocol for this scoping review was registered in the Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/EC6QD). Electronic databases and reference lists of relevant studies were searched up to 9 February 2023. The inclusion criteria were studies investigating any form of patient adherence in orthodontics published in English from 2006 onwards. The exclusion criteria were studies investigating adherence in the following patients: those with an intellectual or physical disability that could affect their ability to coincide with their therapist’s recommendations and advice, those with oral cleft and craniofacial conditions, and those treated solely for obstructive sleep apnoea. Non-peer-reviewed studies and case reports were also excluded. Results A total of 3284 articles were identified, 60 of which met the criteria for final inclusion. Conclusions There is no conclusive evidence on which factors have a significant impact on patient adherence and how patient adherence can be promoted. The degree of patient adherence is generally not compared to achieved treatment results or stability of treatment results, making it difficult to provide clear statements about the impact of the degree of adherence on desired treatment results or orthodontic stability.
