Oral health-related quality of life and pain perception among adult patients treated with clear aligners: a longitudinal prospective study
In the early stages of OT, the CAT group demonstrated improvements in QoL compared to baseline, while the FCBT group showed a decrease. The negative impact on OHRQoL and pain perception over the three months of follow-up tended to decrease after 24-48 hours in both the FCBT and CAT groups. Pain perception was more negatively affected in FCBT than in the CAT group.
