Abstract

By summarizing evidence from existing literature, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of attitude modification interventions in the reduction of orthodontic pain in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. A comprehensive search strategy was implemented using both manual and electronic search methods to identify both indexed and nonindexed articles in databases as well as to reduce the possibility of excluding relevant studies by chance. The online database search strategy incorporated the following databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, and EBSCO from 1940 to May 2020. The results of this review suggest that attitude modification interventions including cognitive behavioral therapy, structured phone calls, and text messages are effective methods in the reduction of pain intensity in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. In conclusion, attitude modification methods are promising and safe nonpharmacological interventions that can be used to control pain in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment without having any side effects or complications.

Keywords
