Summary

This study aims to investigate the effect of clear aligners and traditional brackets on the nutritional status of orthodontic patients. With the increasing demand for more aesthetic and comfortable orthodontic appliances among adults, clear aligner treatment has gained popularity as an alternative to traditional fixed appliances. However, limited research has been conducted to evaluate the impact of clear aligners on dietary habits and nutrition. The study will include adult participants undergoing orthodontic treatment with either clear aligners or traditional brackets. Anthropometric measurements, dietary assessments, and oral health impact evaluations will be conducted to assess the nutritional status of the participants. The findings of this study will contribute to a better understanding of the influence of orthodontic appliances on nutrition and guide clinicians in providing comprehensive care to orthodontic patients.
