Sbenati Dentistry reviews a case study today, released in
2017, on pain and discomfort with traditional braces vs.
Invisalign.
This case study demonstrates that to analyze the
difference in discomfort levels associated with
Invisalign and traditional brackets through a
randomized, prospective trial. The study was
performed by David W. White; Katie C. Julien;
Helder Jacob; Phillip M. Campbell; Peter H.
Buschang.
In order to perform the study, patients of each of the treatments
recorded daily pain diaries outlining their discomforts.
Three diaries for each patient were created: the first
at the initial appointment, the second after one
month, and the third after two months. These are
the highest periods of discomfort as initial
movements of the teeth through orthodontic
treatment tends to hurt the most.
The levels of discomfort were recorded during these
activities: rest, chewing, biting, analgesic consumption and
potential sleep issues.
Initially both treatments
showed similar levels of
discomfort, which is to be
expected.
Patients using the traditional brackets reported more discomfort
during the first week of treatment, particularly when chewing as
opposed to at rest.
Moving forward, traditional braces
patients showed a much higher
level of discomfort at the first and
second month increments.
Discomfort at these appointments was lower than the initial
discomfort, but still noticeably higher than that of Invisalign
patients.
Finally, a higher number of patients
within the traditional group reported
taking pain medication, and a much
lower number of Invisalign patients
reported this.
Sbenati Dentistry owner Dr. Halim Sbenati says there are many people
looking for insights and answers about pain and discomfort with
traditional braces vs. Invisalign.
This case study reveals in a
practical way what's possible with
the right information and
guidance.
