Study on Orthodontist Change Impact on Treatment Outcomes and Duration

Posted: December 20, 2024
This retrospective cohort study compared the treatment outcomes and duration between patients treated by multiple orthodontic residents (transfer group) and those treated by a single resident (non-transfer group) using Clark's twin block appliance followed by fixed mechanotherapy. The study found no significant difference in treatment outcomes between the two groups despite the transfer group having longer treatment durations and more visits. The quality of treatment, assessed by ABO-CRE and PAR indices, was comparable. This highlights the importance of continuity in orthodontic care and suggests that even with various care providers, consistent treatment quality can be achieved.
