White spot lesion incidence, area, and depth · Orthodontic patients of any age with fixed braces (new DLs assessed at debond)
GC Ortho Connect had more frequent, larger, and deeper WSLs, with certainty not graded.
1 finding from 1 review
Group 3 (GC Ortho Connect) showed a significantly higher incidence than both groups (p < 0.001). Group 3 (GC Ortho Connect) also had larger lesion areas and deeper lesions compared to other groups (p < 0.001).

White spot lesion formation (QLF: fluorescence loss, lesion area) · Orthodontic patients of any age with fixed braces (new DLs assessed at debond)
Indirect bonding with a flowable adhesive favored less QLF-measured demineralization, with certainty not graded.
1 finding from 1 review
The DB group exhibited significantly higher loss of fluorescence and degree of demineralization compared to the IB group between T0 and T1, with notable differences in specific quadrants (p <0.05 for ΔF and ΔF max).

Impaired OHRQoL measured with CPQ 11-14 (quantitative synthesis / meta-analysis) · Adolescents (10-19 years)
Malocclusion (DAI) probably increases the prevalence of impaired OHRQoL (CPQ 11-14) by about 15% in adolescents (RR/PR 1.15, 95% CI 1.12-1.18; moderate certainty).
