Orthodontic Compliance Assessment: A Systematic Review

Marek Nahajowski et al. Int Dent J. 2022 Oct.

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this review was to determine whether the type of removable appliance, as well as the age and sex of the patient, may affect the extension or reduction of wear time by assessing the correlation between the mean actual and orthodontist-recommended wear times.

Methods: Randomised case control trials, cohort studies, case series, observational studies, reviews, and retrospective analyses were identified. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration Tool and modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The electronic databases Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were reviewed, and 542 articles were obtained, of which 31 were qualified for qualitative synthesis. The data from 1674 participants were collected and a weighted average was determined for the mean wear time of each appliance.

Results: Regardless of the type of extra- or intraoral appliances, mean wear time was shorter than recommended, although patients using intraoral appliances cooperated more. The best compliance was noted for Schwarz appliances (73.70%) and plate retainers (85%). There was no evidence of an influence of patients' age and sex on compliance during treatment.

Conclusions: The considerable inconsistency and imprecision of articles could affect the reliability of the results. Previous studies analysing the effectiveness of treatment with removable appliances based on an arbitrarily assumed average wear time need to be revised in order to verify the actual wear time with the use of microsensors.
