## TL;DR

Smart braces are more efficient and comfortable than traditional braces, leading to shorter treatment times and higher patient satisfaction.

## Contribution

Demonstrates the clinical advantages of smart braces over traditional ones in orthodontic treatment.

## Key findings

- Smart braces reduced treatment duration and required fewer adjustments.
- Patients using smart braces reported higher comfort and satisfaction.
- Smart braces offer a more efficient and patient-friendly orthodontic solution.

## Abstract

Smart braces are a new orthodontic appliance using advanced materials and sensors for improved tooth movement. This study compared
their efficiency, duration and patient satisfaction to traditional braces in a randomized hospital-based cohort of 120 patients. Data
showed significantly shorter treatment times and fewer adjustments with smart braces. Patients also reported higher comfort and
satisfaction levels. Thus, we show smart braces offer a more efficient and patient-friendly alternative to conventional orthodontic
treatment.
