Read the detailed description
This study was conducted on 70 individuals who presented to the Orthodontics Department of the Faculty of Dentistry at Necmettin Erbakan University. Thirty-five patients were randomly selected to receive treatment with clear aligners, while the remaining 35 patients were treated with fixed orthodontic appliances. The Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40) was administered at the beginning of treatment (T1) and at the sixth month of treatment (T2). Patients were asked to arrive at the clinic half an hour before their appointments to complete the questionnaire. The aim was to evaluate the effect of the type of orthodontic treatment on eating attitudes and behaviors.
