Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine the minimal important difference (MID) in orthodontic treatment duration, which reflects the smallest change in time patients consider significant, to guide decisions on speeding up tooth movement procedures.
- - A survey was conducted with 450 adult orthodontic patients from four countries, revealing that many view a 1-month reduction in treatment as the MID, while the smallest worthwhile effect (SWE) for undergoing surgical procedures was notably higher.
- - Results indicated that 60% of respondents found a 15-day reduction in both 12 and 24-month treatments trivial, while about half considered a 2-month reduction moderate, suggesting that significant time savings are crucial for patients to opt for certain treatment enhancements.
