Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

this study is a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of sending weekly reminders to patients undergoing fixed orthodontic appliance treatment. two groups will be formed and participants of the study will be divided between the two groups randomly. the intervention group will receive weekly reminders about the importance of oral hygiene and appliance care with adherence to scheduled appointments. the difference between these parameters will be evaluated between the control and intervention groups to describe the importance of weekly reminders to enhance the compliance and cooperation of the patient. the oral hygiene of the patient will include plaque level(plaque index), gingival statue level( bleeding index), and white spot lesion . appliance care will be recorded when in case of bracket failure and appointments missed will also be recorded .
