Abstract
Orthodontic osteodilated arch treatment represents a pivotal approach in dental orthodontics to address dental crowding and misalignment. Integrating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into comprehensive nursing interventions (CNI) aims to address these issues holistically. This editorial explores the effectiveness of CBT-based CNI in improving patient outcomes in orthodontic care. Innovations in remote CBT delivery, such as virtual reality, have also shown potential in reducing pain, anxiety, and depression, emphasizing CBT's adaptability in orthodontic settings. The findings underscore the importance of integrating psychological support into orthodontic care to enhance patient adherence, satisfaction, and overall treatment success. The editorial advocates for a holistic approach that combines psychological and physiological care, highlighting the transformative potential of CBT-based interventions in orthodontic treatment.
Core Tip: Integrating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based comprehensive nursing interventions into orthodontic care significantly enhances patient outcomes by addressing both psychological and physiological aspects. This holistic approach not only reduces common complications such as oral mucositis but also improves patient mastery of technical skills and psychological well-being. By reducing anxiety and promoting better self-care behaviors, CBT-based interventions foster higher patient compliance and satisfaction, ultimately leading to more successful treatment outcomes. The adaptability of CBT, including innovations like virtual reality, further underscores its potential in transforming orthodontic care practices.
