TL;DR
This study compares pain levels in patients using Invisalign aligners versus fixed appliances and finds Invisalign causes less pain.
Contribution
The study provides empirical evidence comparing pain perception between Invisalign and fixed orthodontic appliances.
Findings
Invisalign users reported lower pain levels compared to fixed appliance users.
Pain was measured at 6 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 1 week post-treatment.
Three groups were compared: Invisalign, self-ligating, and conventional fixed appliances.
Abstract
The pain perception among patients treated with fixed appliances over Invisalign aligners is of interest. Hence, a total of 75 participants were divided equally into 3 groups namely Group I - Invisalign, Group II - self ligating fixed appliances and Group III - conventional fixed appliance treatment. Perception of pain among patients was evaluated using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 6 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and 1 week. Patients treated with Invisalign aligners showed lower pain compared to fixed appliances.
