Core Tip

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.
