Social media and orthodontic treatment from the patient's perspective: a systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: This systematic review demonstrated that information about orthodontics, how the patient feels, and other psychosocial facets are spread through social media. It is intuitive that research relating to the effects and impact of orthodontic interventions should account not only for the physical impacts of treatment but also to encompass patient-centered outcomes. REGISTRATION: The protocol of this study was not registered in publicly assessable database. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: None to declare. PMID: 31107943 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
