About this study
Official title: Comparative Effects of Different Music Genres on Anxiety in Orthodontic Patients: A Randomized Controlled Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Turkish classical music, patient-selected music, and silence have an effect on psychological and physiological anxiety indicators during orthodontic bracket placement. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Turkish classical music reduce anxiety levels in orthodontic patients undergoing bracket placement? Does patient-selected music reduce anxiety levels in orthodontic patients undergoing bracket placement? Researchers will compare two different music genres to a control (no music, silence) to see if music therapy works to lower anxiety. Participants will: Listen to Turkish classical music or patient-selected music or silence during orthodontic bracket application and complete 2 scales before and after the intervention.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Anxiety Levels Measured by the Abeer Children Dental Anxiety Scale (ACDAS)
The Abeer Children Dental Anxiety Scale (ACDAS) measures dental anxiety in children and adolescents. Scores range from 13 to 39, with higher scores indicating higher anxiety.
Measured: Baseline (before bracket placement) and immediately after bracket placement (within 30 minutes after the intervention)
Change in State Anxiety Measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - State Form (STAI-S)
The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory State Form (STAI-S) assesses temporary state anxiety levels. Scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating higher anxiety.
Measured: Baseline (before bracket placement) and immediately after bracket placement (within 30 minutes after the intervention)
Physiological Anxiety Indicators (Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Body Temperature, Oxygen Saturation)
Changes in heart rate (beats per minute), blood pressure (mmHg), body temperature (degrees celcius) and oxygen saturation (%) will be recorded as indicators of physiological anxiety.
Measured: Baseline (before bracket placement) and immediately after bracket placement (within 30 minutes after the intervention)
