Abstract
Patient compliance towards any treatment will determine the successful of the intended outcome. Compliance on removable orthodontics appliances can be assessed by the duration of wear whereby duration of less than 12 hours per day could indicate a non-compliance. A non-compliant patient will result in failure of the planned treatment. Orthodontics treatment using removable appliance usually will fail without determination, attitude, and patient cooperation. This study explores the reason why patient does not comply with orthodontics treatment using removable appliances. In total forty-five patients were involved in this cross-sectional study. Written consent was obtained from every participant prior to the study. Questionnaire on demographic, compliance towards treatment and factor affecting compliance were distributed to all participants. In this study, factors affecting compliance were found to be discomfort (p=o.336), pain (p=0.036), knowledge on importance of appliance wear (p=0.205), dentist-patient relationship (p=0.021) and self-assessment on malocclusion severity (p=0.072). With p value set at <0.05, factors such as pain and dentist-patient relationship show significant influence towards compliance. In conclusions, compliance towards removable appliance were determined by pain experience and dentist-patient relationship were discovered to be statistically significant contributor to it in this study.
