Orthodontic Treatment and Its Impact on Sleep Quality in Patients with Malocclusion: Study the effects of orthodontic treatment on sleep patterns and quality in patients with malocclusion.
ABSTRACT
Aim: This study investigated the impact of orthodontic treatment on
sleep quality in patients with malocclusion.
Methodology: Utilizing a prospective cohort design, we assessed
changes in sleep patterns and quality before and after treatment in 100
patients with various types of malocclusion. Sleep quality was
measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), while
sleep duration and efficiency were monitored through sleep diaries
and actigraphy.
Result: Results indicated significant improvements in PSQI scores,
sleep duration, and sleep efficiency over six months and one year.
Patients with Class II malocclusion and those using clear aligners
experienced particularly favorable outcomes.
Conclusion: The study suggests that orthodontic treatment positively
impacts sleep quality, though limitations such as the absence of a
control group and reliance on self-reported measures must be
considered.
