    Area of Science:

    • Orthodontics
    • Pediatric Dentistry
    • Biomaterials

    Context:

    • Removable orthodontic appliances are widely used in pediatric dental treatment.
    • Ensuring consistent patient cooperation is crucial for treatment efficacy.
    • Traditional appliance designs may not fully engage young patients.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the impact of personalized removable appliances on patient cooperation in children.
    • To quantify the increase in cooperation hours attributable to appliance customization.

    Summary:

    • A study involving 750 children undergoing treatment with removable appliances explored the effects of personalization.
    • Customization included unique colors, embedded writings, drawings, and slides selected by the patient.
    • This personalization strategy led to a measurable increase in cooperation, ranging from 10% to 35%.
