Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Verbal oral hygiene instructions group
Only verbal instructions on oral hygiene including brushing using soft bristles, brushing for 2 minutes, flossing once daily, the use of fluoridated oral rinse, orthodontic appliance care and avoiding hard and sticky food. These instructions were given at the baseline visit. Then, these subjects were re-examined after 4 weeks
No interventions assigned to this group
Smartphone reminder application group
the subjects received the same oral hygiene instructions that were described to the control group with the addition of downloading two mobile applications: Brushout app and Brush teeth reminder app. These applications were adjusted to send notifications twice daily in the morning and night as reminders to practice oral hygiene. In addition, oral hygiene practice was tracked by a link that was sent electronically and checked by study researchers as a compliance protocol. Like the control group, subjects were re-examined after 4 weeks.
Two mobile applications: Brushout and Brush teeth reminder applications
These applications were adjusted to send notifications twice daily in the morning and night as reminders to practice oral hygiene.
