ZYZhenrong YinYZYiliu ZhouYPYuxiang Peng

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the link between parent-child relationship dynamics and orthodontic compliance with clear aligners in children and adolescents.
  • Analyzed the relationship between parent-child interaction and orthodontic treatment adherence.
  • Evaluated compliance in cleaning aligners and timely replacement among children and adolescents.
  • Measured the usage of chewies and its effect on overall compliance.
  • High closeness in parent-child relationships correlates with better compliance in cleaning and changing aligners.
  • Low conflict within these relationships also contributes positively to compliance.
  • Chewies showed the least adherence, indicating a need for strategies to enhance their usage.

Abstract

High closeness and low conflict in PCR are associated with better CA compliance among children and adolescents, particularly in cleaning aligners and timely aligner change. Chewies usage showed the lowest compliance and warrants significant improvement. Pretreatment assessment of children's and adolescents' PCR can offer valuable prognostic insights for orthodontic treatment planning and personalized compliance management.
