Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Dental Technology
  • Clinical Efficiency

Background:

  • Conventional orthodontic treatments can be lengthy and involve numerous patient visits.
  • Assessing the efficiency of newer orthodontic technologies is crucial for clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the treatment efficiency of SureSmile technology against conventional orthodontic treatment.
  • To evaluate differences in treatment duration and patient visit frequency.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 12,335 completed patient histories (9,390 SureSmile, 2,945 conventional).
  • Variables included treatment time, malocclusion class, patient age, and number of visits.
  • Nonparametric regression tests were employed for data analysis.

Enhancement of Facial Rejuvenation Through a Combination of 1565 nm Non-Ablative Fractional Laser with 30% Supramolecular Salicylic Acid

Published on: September 27, 2024

Main Results:

  • SureSmile treatment median duration was 15 months, 8 months shorter than conventional (23 months).
  • SureSmile patients had 14 median visits, 4 fewer than conventional patients (18 visits).
  • Significant differences were observed for treatment time and visits (P = .001).

Conclusions:

  • SureSmile treatment demonstrates greater efficiency, leading to more timely orthodontic care.
  • Further prospective studies are recommended to confirm SureSmile treatment effectiveness.
