Motivational Interview and Orthodontic Patients

A periodontist was trained and evaluated by two expert psychologists in MI, who also supervised the interviewer to ensure that the intervention was properly applied. The periodontist conducted sessions of motivational interviewing monthly to the participants of the experimental group.

A periodontist delivered OHI to all the participants of both studied groups. Also, every single patient received a G.U.M. kit with special orthodontic hygiene tools.
