Competition is fierce in the orthodontic arena, and clinicians must stand out from the crowd to get reliable, personalised information over to potential customers. Considering the number of promotional messages issued by brands and social media personalities alike, how can the orthodontic community ensure patients receive the best advice? Should professionals jump on the TikTok bandwagon and brush up on their online marketing expertise? Or is there another way? This article is an opinion piece by an Orthodontic Marketing Consultant with over 10 years of experience in the field.

The use of social media has increased significantly, which enables the sharing of patient experiences of healthcare interventions. Evaluation of the available data regarding patient experiences of their own orthodontic treatment is lacking. The present registered scoping review aimed to collate and evaluate the current evidence to enable a greater understanding of the experiences of patients, undergoing orthodontic treatment, conveyed via social media platforms regarding their treatment. Studies with patients reporting their orthodontic experiences through social media platforms regarding orthodontic treatment were considered for evaluation. Four electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Scopus) were searched up until January 29th, 2023.
A total of 379 records were screened, of which 47 potentially pertinent articles were obtained in full. Twelve studies satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria following screening and were assessed in the present scoping review. Most studies evaluated patient experiences conveyed via Twitter. The findings indicated that patient experiences regarding orthodontic treatment were generally positive and those regarding orthodontic retention were generally negative. Positive experiences included satisfaction associated with treatment outcome, removal of fixed appliances and the aesthetic appearance of clear aligners. Negative experiences related to pain/discomfort, impact on speech and eating, dislike of retainers and the need to comply with retainer wear protocols. Instagram appears to be the social media platform through which patients are more likely to express positive sentiments. Research is required to develop validated methodological processes to enable future systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant studies, and to develop strategies for the orthodontic profession to minimise the negative experiences borne by their patients. In addition, guidance on the appropriate ethical management of data in future similar studies is required.
社会媒体的使用显著增加,这使得患者能够分享医疗保健干预措施的经验。缺乏对患者自身正畸治疗经验的现有数据的评估。目前注册的范围审查旨在整理和评估现有证据,以便更好地了解通过社交媒体平台进行正畸治疗的患者的治疗经历。研究考虑了患者通过社交媒体平台报告正畸治疗经历的研究。检索截止到2023年1月29日的四个电子数据库(PubMed, Web of Science, Embase和Scopus)。总共筛选了379项记录,其中47项可能有关的文章获得了全文。在筛选后,有12项研究符合纳入和排除标准,并在本综述中进行了评估。大多数研究评估的是通过Twitter传达的患者体验。结果表明,患者对正畸治疗的体验普遍是积极的,而对正畸保留的体验普遍是消极的。积极的体验包括对治疗结果的满意度,固定矫治器的移除和透明矫正器的美观外观。与疼痛/不适相关的负面体验,对言语和饮食的影响,不喜欢固位器以及需要遵守固位器佩戴协议。Instagram似乎是患者更有可能表达积极情绪的社交媒体平台。研究需要开发有效的方法流程,以便将来对相关研究进行系统回顾和荟萃分析,并为正畸专业制定策略,以尽量减少患者的负面经历。此外,还需要对未来类似研究中数据的适当伦理管理提供指导。

The evolution of digital technology has impacted how we share and access relevant information, and revolutionized how we promote practice. The utilization of social media in the field of orthodontics is a double-edged sword, involving potential and pitfalls for clinicians, patients, and the profession as a whole. It is crucial to provide balanced and evidence-based information through these platforms to ensure patient safety. Additionally, adherence to guidelines set by regulatory bodies is important to maintain ethical practices. By effectively addressing these aspects, we can harness the potential of social media to enhance patient care and advance our profession. The aims of the article are to elucidate the utilization of social media platforms from a clinician's perspective, to assess the reliability of information shared on social media, and to evaluate its impact on enhancing patient behaviors. Additionally, we discuss the application of social media for professional marketing purposes and online visibility.

Social media has impacted all aspects of our professional lives and education, and peer interaction is no exception to this rule. Orthodontic residents, the future of our specialty, and their social media interactions are indicative of what probably augurs for the near foreseeable future. Three hundred and sixty one orthodontic residents from around the world participated in an online cross-sectional survey. Seventy two percent of the residents stated that Instagram was their preferred platform, while 12 % preferred Facebook. "Treatment Techniques" and "before-and-after" pictures were the most viewed. Sixty nine percent stated that they occasionally adopted new clinical techniques after observing them on social media, and 66 % even reported improving their record-keeping and treatment quality through social media influences. Though journals were not popularly followed on social media, 84 % of respondents stated that they learned about conferences through social media interactions. The majority of residents did not participate in social media groups. Orthodontic residents were more optimistic about the reliability of orthodontic information on social media compared to the accuracy assessments found in the literature. The findings of this survey indicate that social media is an important instrument for dental public health awareness and communication and an educational resource for orthodontic residents. The need for regulation of orthodontic information disseminated on social media is an important discourse for the future of our specialty.

In the age of web 2.0 technologies, social media platforms facilitate rapid communication, direct spread to large numbers of users, within and beyond scholarly communities, as well as discussion of the shared information between posters and followers. Scholars participate in scientific conversations using mainly blogs, social and professional networking sites, video sharing platforms, forums, and content aggregators or reference management software. Current evidence suggests a likely increase of citation counts of research work following dissemination through specialized social media applications for academics. Given the benefits of mediated research communication, social media use in orthodontics needs to be reinforced and keep pace with other medical specialties. This article provides critical insights into the adoption of social media in scholarly communication and the evaluation of the impact of research outputs shared online by means of the so-called altmetrics or social media metrics.

TMD pain and dysfunction were observed in up to 66 % and 41 % of patients seeking orthodontic treatment. Evidence-based knowledge of TMD etiology, detection, and management is thus paramount in contemporary orthodontic practice. This analytical review aims to introduce the biopsychosocial model, scrutinize the psychosocial construct, propose psychosocial screening tools, and clarify the effectiveness of psychological interventions for TMDs. The biopsychosocial model specifies that TMDs are the consequence of dynamic interactions between biological, psychological, and social factors across time. As the frequency of moderate-to-severe psychological distress and somatization/somatic symptoms burden is high in individuals with TMDs, prospective orthodontic patients should be screened for TMDs/psychosocial impairments to circumvent treatment and medico-legal complications. Among the available screening tools, an amalgamation of the quintessential 5 TMD symptoms (5Ts) of the DC/TMD, Physical Symptom Scale-8 (PSS-8), and Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) provides an efficient way of identifying TMD, somatic, and psychological symptoms synchronously. For prospective orthodontic patients with considerable TMD pain/dysfunction and distress, tailored multimodal and multidisciplinary treatments incorporating psychosocial interventions, including counseling/self-management, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and behavior modification, may be warranted. Complementary positive psychological interventions could also be valuable in TMD management and the paradigm shift from “reactive” to “proactive” TMD care.
