Abstract

ABSTRACT Tele-orthodontics, the application of telecommunications technology in orthodontic care, has emerged as a promising tool to enhance patient compliance and facilitate treatment monitoring. In traditional orthodontic practice, patient compliance and monitoring are pivotal but often challenging aspects. Tele-orthodontics offers a solution by providing remote communication and monitoring capabilities, potentially improving patient engagement and treatment outcomes. This study conducted a retrospective analysis of orthodontic patients who utilized tele-orthodontics as part of their treatment plan. A total of 100 patients were included in the study, with ages ranging from 12 to 40 years old. Patients were provided with mobile applications or web-based platforms enabling them to communicate with their orthodontists, submit progress images, and receive feedback remotely. Treatment compliance was assessed based on adherence to scheduled appointments, wearing of orthodontic appliances, and completion of prescribed exercises. The analysis revealed a significant improvement in patient compliance with the implementation of tele-orthodontics. Adherence to scheduled appointments increased by 30%, with patients attending 95% of their appointments compared to 65% before the introduction of tele-orthodontics. Moreover, compliance with wearing orthodontic appliances showed a remarkable rise, with patients consistently wearing their appliances for an average of 22 h per day, up from 14 h per day previously. Additionally, the completion rate of prescribed exercises saw a notable enhancement, with 80% of patients completing their exercises as instructed, compared to 50% previously. Tele-orthodontics plays a significant role in enhancing patient compliance and treatment monitoring in orthodontic care. The remote communication and monitoring capabilities provided by tele-orthodontic platforms empower patients to actively participate in their treatment process, leading to improved adherence to appointments, better compliance with wearing orthodontic appliances, and increased completion of prescribed exercises. These findings underscore the importance of integrating tele-orthodontics into orthodontic practice to optimize patient outcomes and satisfaction.

远程正畸在提高患者依从性和治疗监控方面的作用
摘要 远程正畸是将电信技术应用于正畸治疗的一种新兴技术,是提高患者依从性和促进治疗监测的一种有前途的工具。在传统的正畸实践中,患者的依从性和监测是至关重要的,但往往具有挑战性。远程正畸通过提供远程通信和监控功能提供了一种解决方案,有可能提高患者的参与度和治疗效果。 本研究对使用远程正畸作为治疗计划一部分的正畸患者进行了回顾性分析。共有 100 名患者参与了这项研究,他们的年龄从 12 岁到 40 岁不等。患者可通过移动应用程序或网络平台与正畸医生进行交流、提交进度图像并远程接收反馈。治疗依从性的评估依据是患者是否按时赴约、是否佩戴正畸装置以及是否完成规定的练习。 分析结果表明,实施远程正畸后,患者的依从性有了显著提高。按期就诊率提高了 30%,患者的就诊率达到 95%,而在采用远程正畸技术之前,这一比例仅为 65%。此外,患者佩戴正畸矫治器的依从性也有显著提高,患者平均每天佩戴正畸矫治器的时间从之前的 14 小时增加到 22 小时。此外,规定练习的完成率也有显著提高,80% 的患者按照指示完成了练习,而以前只有 50%。 远程正畸在提高正畸护理中患者的依从性和治疗监测方面发挥了重要作用。远程正畸平台提供的远程通信和监控功能使患者有能力积极参与治疗过程,从而提高了预约的依从性、佩戴正畸装置的依从性以及规定练习的完成率。这些发现强调了将远程正畸整合到正畸实践中以优化患者治疗效果和满意度的重要性。
