  • Abstract:
  • The purpose of the current study was to assess patient’s level of pain perception undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Three common procedures—the insertion of separators, band or ring cementations, arch wire activations— were examined for their level of pain. In the first month after receiving fixed appliance orthodontic treatment, 100 patients aged 15 to 35 made up the sample for our study. A questionnaire designed to gauge the patient’s experience of pain was filled out by them. The age and sex distribution of the study sample was used. We assessed the level of discomfort experienced during each of the three orthodontic treatments and discovered that, across all four age groups, elastic separator placement and wire activation was the most uncomfortable. The least painful method was band cementation procedure, with a greater value in the group 21- 25 years old. After procedures, the first three days were the most uncomfortable. The majority of patients didn’t require analgesic medication, as they felt only pressure sensation and it was mild to moderate after undergoing the orthodontic procedures that were evaluated. Women experienced noticeably more discomfort than men did. The severity of felt pain varies across patients as they grow older.
