Pain Perception during Initial Leveling and Alignment from Three Initial Wires of Different Sizes
Journal Title: International Journal of Health & Medical Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 06
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine pain perception during initial leveling and alignment from three initial archwires wires of different sizes. Methods: A questionnaire-based study was conducted on 150 patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. The pain perception differences between groups were assessed using visual analogue scale. Chi-square and fishers exact test was used for the normality test. Results: The perceptions of pain showed significant difference between three archwire groups. Conclusion: Pain perception was more with 0.016 inch archwire after 0.014 and 0.012 archwire.
