Patient perceptions and oral impacts following labial and lingual biocreative therapy: A randomized clinical trial

ConclusionsOral impacts are commonly experienced during both labial and lingual biocreative therapies. No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups regarding functional limitation, physical pain, and adverse effects on quality of life. Patients treated with labial biocreative therapy were more annoyed by the appearance of the appliance and were more likely to be embarrassed compared with those treated by the lingual biocreative technique. Both groups had similar levels of treatment satisfaction.
