Overview

Prospective study assesses oral behaviours and TMD-related pain in orthodontic patients, indicating minimal impact on anxiety.

Key Points

  • Orthodontic treatment does not significantly influence oral behaviours or TMD-related pain over time.
  • The non-orthodontic group experienced slight increases and decreases in oral behaviours and anxiety scores at various points.
  • A prospective cohort study at the University of Trieste involved 114 university students over 18 months.
  • Routine screening for oral behaviours and anxiety may not be necessary for orthodontic patients based on individual clinical indications.
