RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
PREVENTION
DOUBLE
The investigator who performs motivational and usual intervention is not blinded because once the patient is summoned for the application of motivational intervention, he/she will know the assigned group. Investigators who perform clinical measurements and indexes will remain blinded throughout the study by means of restricted access to the randomization instrument and general data recording of the study. The statistical data evaluator will be unaware of the allocation of the interventions.
Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Conventional Oral health Education
Conventional oral health education and nutritional guidelines prior to the placement of fixed appliances, by means of a 5-8 minute video and instructive brochure.
Conventional Educational interventions
Conventional educational methods can be verbal, written or visual and can be combined for greater understanding and effectiveness in oral health and dietary routines. The education are imparted in the first appointment of the appliances cementation by a video and oral health instruction booklet and each patient receive an oral hygiene kit. This education is repeated in month 1 and 3 after appliances cementation.
Motivational interviewing + Conventional Oral health Education
Include the conventional oral health education of the control group and a 30 minute motivational interviewing (MI)

The education are imparted in the first appointment of the appliances cementation by a video and oral health instruction booklet and each patient receive an oral hygiene kit. This education is repeated in month 1 and 3 after appliances cementation.
Motivational intervention
In addition to the conventional educational method, a motivational interviewing (MI) by Miller and Rollnick of 30 minutes will be used, with an initial script according to the stage of change in each patient in T0. The reinforcements of motivational interviewing are in month one and three after the installation of the braces, they will have the same methodology but will be focused on the aspects that in the previous session or in the clinical assessment were detected as the most important deficiencies or risk factors for the patient.
