Abstract:
The occurrence of pain is often closely related to the psychological status, and the threshold for pain tolerance varies from patient to patient. In short, the factors affecting orthodontic pain are diverse and have individual differences. Tooth pain after the first force of intraoral malocclusion orthodontic treatment is one of the common complications of fixed orthodontic treatment, which often affects the outcome of treatment of patients with malocclusion and their subjective satisfaction with fixed orthodontic treatment. The purpose of the paper was to investigate the basic patterns and influencing factors of dental pain in fixed orthodontic patients within seven days after the initial wearing of straight arch aligners and the analysis of the effect of psychological intervention on dental pain using the visual simulation scoring method. According to the inclusion criteria of the experimental design, 89 patients who visited the Department of Orthodontics of Hospital for malocclusion were randomly divided into observation group and control group, and the observation group used chewing gum as psychological intervention, while the control group did not use any intervention. The effect of psychological intervention on periodontal pain was analyzed. The results of the paper were that all but 3 of the 89 patients had no pain, and all the patients had different degrees of dental pain at different points in time.
