Abstract
Introduction
A smile is a condition that makes a person attractive to the public, and this is the main motivation for people to adjust their oral cavity. Most patients turn to orthodontic therapy to improve facial aesthetics and oral function for a beautiful smile. Orthodontic treatment, along with complications and side effects, is accompanied by unusual difficulties, which depend directly on the behavior of patients.
Materials & Methods
This study was conducted in 400 patients, regardless of age and gender, who applied to the dental clinic for orthodontic treatment.
Results
According to the research analysis, it should be noted that patients and their parents rarely seek early orthodontic consultation. In many cases, the patient's parents refuse early treatment and are satisfied only with the result obtained with the bracket system.
When planning orthodontic treatment, it is quite difficult to get patients to agree to tooth extraction, and the patient's agreement to orthognathic surgery is an exceptional case.
It is worth noting the fact that almost all patients in the initial period of treatment follow well the rules established for the orthodontic therapist. However, after a certain period of time, problems with oral hygiene begin, which in many cases lead to periodontal diseases.
Due to the duration of orthodontic treatment, patients do not stand out with great willpower, in many cases they request to end the treatment prematurely. There are cases when patients voluntarily stop treatment.
Despite the many difficulties during orthodontic treatment, it should be emphasized that the biggest problem is the maintenance of the retention period after completion of orthodontic treatment. There is almost no patient who completes this procedure.
Conclusion
It should be noted that the difficulties during orthodontic treatment have a certain explanation. Neglect of early orthodontic consultations, unsatisfactory oral hygiene and complete orthodontic treatment are mainly caused by the low medical education of the mentioned population, and the main reason for refusal of extractions is the fear of said manipulation.
