Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: 90 consecutive fixed orthodontic appliance treatment candidates in compliance with the above mentioned criteria were randomly assigned to 3 groups (n = 30 in each); Control group: The patients in control group received a standard printed educational material assisted with verbal information in accordance with BOS educational goals.

Study group 1: The patients in one of the study groups received a video assisted education .

Study group 2: The patients in other study group received a hands-on training.
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: This study is a single-blind randomized controlled trial on fixed orthodontic appliance candidates (n = 90) assigned into a control group (n = 30) and two different study groups (n = 30 in each). Patients who requiring non-extraction fixed orthodontic treatment, crowding under 5mm in the incisors and heaving at least 20 permanent teeth with healthy periodontal tissue and devoid of caries were included in the study. The control group received a standard printed educational material assisted with verbal information. The study groups either received video assisted or hands-on training about fixed orthodontic appliance and oral hygiene. The time requirements for all three educational interventions were recorded at the initial visit. The adequacy of oral hygiene is documented through plaque and gingival indices at the initial visit and 8th week of the treatment.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Required non-extraction fixed orthodontic treatment, agree to use conventional stainless steel brackets (Gemini series; 3M Unitek, Monrovia, California, USA), at least 20 natural permanent teeth, crowding under 5 mm in the incisors and willing to participate in our research

Exclusion Criteria:

* Dental caries, periodontal disease, systemic or chronic diseases such as diabetes, physical or mental disorders, smoking, previous orthodontic treatment, extensive dental restorations, antibiotic use during the previous 3 months, dental fluorosis and use of powered tooth brushes.

Primary outcomes:
measure: Plaque index(PI) for oral health assessment.
timeFrame: PI was measured at the 8 weeks later in each patient.
measure: Gingival index(GI) for oral health assessment.
timeFrame: GI was measured at the 8 weeks later in each patient.
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Time duration spent for educational interventions
timeFrame: Average 30 minutes
