ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This study was funded by CAPES ABSTRACT Introduction: The influence of aligners on the activity of the masticatory muscles is still controversial, especially regarding the behavior associated with awake bruxism (AB). Objective: To compare the frequency of AB behaviors between patients treated with aligners and fixed appliances. Methods: The sample comprised 38 Class I patients (mean age 22.08 years), divided by simple randomization into two groups: OA group; orthodontic aligners (n 19) and FA group; fixed appliance (n 19). The frequency of AB was investigated by the ecological momentary assessment using an online device (mentimeter), during 7 following days at A cc ep te d A rt ic le This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved different timepoints, before and after appliance placement and in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th months of orthodontic treatment. These variables were also evaluated: level of anxiety by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, stress by the Perceived Stress Scale, catastrophizing related to pain and degree of hypervigilance by the Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire, and the presence of facial pain evaluated by the DC/TMD. Results: There was no difference between groups in the frequency of AB behaviors, with mean of 53.5% for group OA and 51.3% for FA. The most frequent behavior was slightly touching the teeth, and in FA group there was a significant reduction in this behavior soon after appliance placement. The groups did not differ concerning the degree of anxiety, stress, catastrophizing, hypervigilance and facial pain. Conclusion: The orthodontic treatment performed with aligners or fixed appliances did not influence the frequency of AB during the 6 months of treatment. Registry of Clinical Trials (REBEC): RBR-9zytwf Key words: Orthodontics, Aligners, Fixed appliance, Awake bruxism 1- BACKGROUND Bruxism is defined as the activity of masticatory muscles occurring during sleep (characterized as rhythmic or non-rhythmic) or awake (characterized by repetitive or sustained contact of teeth), which should be considered separately.1 Awake bruxism (AB) A cc ep te d A rt ic le This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved may be associated with several psychosocial factors, such as anxiety,2,3 stress3,4 and hypervigilance,5 and its most important effects are tooth wear, orofacial pain symptoms, periodontal disease, tooth fracture and/or breakage of dentures.2 Most studies have focused on the study of sleep bruxism (SB),6,7 while knowledge about awake bruxism is still fragmented.6 The prevalence of AB in adults varies from 22% to 30% and SB from 1% to 15%.7 This high prevalence of AB affects more than one third of the population, especially young adult individuals, which is considered an age group frequently present in orthodontic practices.8 It should be noted that, in recent years, the use of orthodontic aligners (OA) has increased significantly mainly to meet the demand of young adult patients with great esthetic needs. The clinical efficiency of these appliances associated with comfort in relation to traditional fixed appliances (FA) have been identified as contributing factors for their large-scale use.9,10 Studies have investigated the clinical efficacy of aligners and their effects on root resorption,11 periodontal health,12 perception of pain and discomfort.10 It has been reported that orthodontic aligners could be an alternative option for orthodontic treatment in patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD)13 and sleep bruxism.9 Its possible effects on bruxism are still unknown, and evidence on the possible effects of aligners on the activity of masticatory muscles is still limited and controversial.14 There is still lack of scientific evidence demonstrating the effects of aligners on intraoral perception and AB behavior. Thus, this clinical study had as primary objective to compare the frequency of bruxism behavior while awake, during the initial stages of orthodontic treatment, comparing two types of orthodontic appliances (fixed and aligners). The levels of anxiety, stress, degree of hypervigilance and catastrophizing related to pain and presence of facial pain symptoms were also compared. 2- METHODS - Participants Overall, from 2,662 individuals, 40 patients were selected in this randomized parallel clinical trial study meeting the criteria: (1) age between 13 and 35 years; (2) both A cc ep te d A rt ic le This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved genders; (3) Angle Class I malocclusion; (4) moderate lower anterior crowding (3 to 6 mm); and (5) treatment without extraction. The exclusion criteria were: (1) missing permanent teeth, except for the third molars; (2) anterior or posterior open bite; (3) anterior or posterior crossbite; (4) history of orthodontic treatment and (5) signs or symptoms of TMD or other painful chronic disorder based on the recommendations of the “Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (DC/TMD)”15. Written consent was obtained from all patients before the study. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of University of North Paraná (UNOPAR) under CAAE n. 12088219.0.0000.0108 and received the number (RBR-9zytwf) in the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (REBEC). - Interventions For all patients included in the sample, initial orthodontic records were obtained including intra- and extraoral photographs; dental casts; periapical radiographs of upper and lower incisors; cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and digital intraoral scanning (3D model) using an intraoral scanner (iTero® Intraoral Element Scanner). The participants were randomly divided into 2 groups by simple randomization for the factors gender, age, amount of crowding (Little’s irregularity index) and severity of malocclusion (PAR index): - Group OA (n=20) treated with Invisalign orthodontic aligners from Align Technology (Santa Clara, California, USA). The 3D planning was performed using the software ClinCheckTM Pro version 5,6 following thepatients’ needs and manufacturer's guidelines, and the aligners were changed at every 10 days. - Group (FA) was also composed of 20 patients treated with fixed appliances (slot 0.022 x 0.030”, 3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif). The appliances were placed up to the second molars following the same sequence of Nitinol wires (0.014”, 0.016”, 0.016x.022”), respecting the individual needs of each patient. Orthodontic appointments were performed once a month by 2 orthodontic master program students at the post- graduate clinics under supervision of an orthodontist with more than 15 years of experience. - Outcome Measurement A cc ep te d A rt ic le This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved To allow real-time evaluation of the frequency of awake bruxism behavior, the ecological momentary assessment (EMA) was used collecting self-reports of episodes of this parafunction, in their natural environment.16 Each participant was instructed to recognize various AB-related behaviors by links sent by WhatsApp using a web based survey program called Mentimeter®. Aiming to allow the study participants to get used to this assessment, test links were sent for training how to use the research instrument one day before the study beginning. The link directed the patient to the question about the contact condition between teeth suggesting some behavior related to bruxism during wakefulness, based on previous studies: “Which option below best describes the contact of your teeth?”. The possible responses were: a) I am not touching my teeth; b) I am not touching my teeth, but I feel my muscles are contracted; c) I am slightly touching my teeth; d) I am clenching my teeth; or e) I am grinding my teeth. Each link was available for response for 5 minutes from the moment of the alert sound. After this period, the system was blocked to record responses. A total of 10 links were sent per day, for 7 consecutive days in the following periods: baseline, soon after appliance placement, in the first, second, third and sixth months after appliance placement.17,18 The questions were sent by the researcher at random times to avoid the risk that individuals modify their behavior based on the expectation of alert. The recording time was set between 8:00 to 20:00. A minimum of 70% of responses was considered necessary to validate them; in case of failure to reach this percentage, an additional recording day was defined to complete this protocol. The variables that might impact the AB behavior were also assessed at baseline as anxiety by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T),19 stress by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS 14),20 and catastrophizing by the pain catastrophizing scale (PCS)21 and the degree of hypervigilance by the Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire (PVAQ).22 The presence of facial pain was also investigated using the DC/TMD symptoms questionnaire.15 Additionally, stress and the presence of pain were also investigated in the first, second, third and sixth months after appliance placement. Sample SizeA cc ep te d A rt ic le This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved An analysis of the power of the test showed that based on the average standard deviation of the AB frequency variation (32.1), a sample of at least 19 patients would have an 80% probability of detecting a real difference of 30 percentage points between the groups, with a significance level of 5%. Randomization Simple randomization was performed by an external investigator, using a software (Excel 2007, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft, Chicago, IL, USA), at a ratio of 1:1. This investigator inserted the randomization codes in numbered, sealed and opaque envelopes, consecutively, assuring blinded allocation into 2 groups. Blinding The blinding of patient and operator was not possible in this study. However, the results were analyzed in a blind manner, assigning a code number to the patients and group with aligners as OA Group, and fixed appliances as FA Group. - Statistical analysis Statistical analysis was performed by an investigator not related to the study. All quantitative measurements were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test. Comparison between the OA and FA groups in the quantitative variables was performed by the t test for independent groups, and the proportion of occurrence of pain was analyzed by the Fisher exact test. Regarding the frequency of AB, comparison between the six periods, within each group, was performed by the Friedman test, and comparison between the two groups in each period was performed by the Mann-Whitney test. All tests were performed at a significance level of 5% (p<0,05). All statistical procedures were performed on the software SPSS version 26. 3- RESULTS 3.1 Participants flow and baseline data A cc ep te d A rt ic le This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved Figure 1 shows the flowchart of patients evaluated for study eligibility, randomization, allocation, treatment and follow-up on the first 6 months of orthodontic treatment. Participants who met the established criteria were recruited from August 2018 to February 2019. Forty individuals were recruited, divided into 2 groups of 20 patients. One participant from each group was excluded from the sample due to non-compliance in answering the questions (group FA) and due to a trip abroad at baseline (group OA). Thus, data from a total of 38 patients were analyzed. According to Table 1 the two groups matched for gender (p=1.000), age (p=0.0681), PAR index (p=0.8751) and Little's irregularity index (p=0.5705). At baseline, the groups did not differ regarding anxiety, catastrophizing, hypervigilance, stress and facial pain. 3.2 Outcome data Evaluation of frequency of awake bruxism The mean percentage of valid responses in the study was 71.52%, being 72.88% for group OA and 70.16% for group FA. Regarding the mean frequency of AB, considering all types of behavior, group OA maintained a more constant frequency, with 55.9% at T0, 56% T1, 50.2% at T2, 52.2% at T3, 52.4% at T4 and in 54.1% at T5. Conversely, group FA had a mean frequency at T0 (baseline) of 61.4%, and then this frequency showed a decrease, namely 44.4% at T1, 47.7% at T2, 46.1% at T3 and 46.3% at T4, rising again at T5 to 61.8% (Table 2 and Figure 2). Concerning the different habits that comprised the diagnosis of AB, the most prevalent in groups OA and FA was to slightly touch the teeth (40.1% and 38.4%), clenching the teeth (9.5% and 7.6%), without dental contact but with contracted muscles with 3.2% and 4.9%, and grinding the teeth with 0.7% and 0.4%, respectively (Table 2). With regard to the variation in the frequency of AB in each evaluation period compared to the baseline (T0), there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (P<0.05) (Table 3). A cc ep te d A rt ic le This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved Regarding the most frequent behavior (slightly touching the teeth), an increase was observed right after appliance placement (T1) from 36.6% to 42.7% in group OA, gradually decreasing in the following periods. In group FA, a statistically significant decreasing shortly after placement (T1) from 45.1% to 25.6% was observed, rising in the following periods (Table 4). Harms There were no harms during the follow-up of the two groups between time points. 4- DISCUSSION The AB has higher prevalence in the adult population than SB;6,7 however, much of the scientific evidence obtained so far is related to SB. Among the strategies to control the activity of masticatory muscles during sleep, the use of interocclusal devices has been indicated, even though this remains controversial in the literature.23 In this context, appliances made of different material than rigid or resilient occlusal plates, such asorthodontic aligners, called the attention of researchers.14,24 Although the use of these appliances does not seem to influence the SB,14 no study has investigated the effect of these aligners in relation to AB. Thus, this study compared the frequency of AB behavior among patients starting orthodontic treatment with aligners and conventional fixed appliances. Our results showed that the type of orthodontic appliance does not seem to influence the activity levels of awake bruxism, considering all different types of parafunctional behavior. However, the “light contact” behaviors presented significant different frequencies between groups after appliance placement. The groups were matched at baseline for age, gender, amount of crowding and severity of malocclusion. Also, at baseline, the intergroup results concerning the degree of anxiety, stress, hypervigilance, pain catastrophizing and facial pain showed similarity between groups. This “baseline” facial pain was mostly mild in both groups and did not meet the DC criteria for TMD. The similarity between groups was preserved throughout the period of evaluation, and therefore did not interfere with the study’s outcomes. The control of these variables is fundamental, since several authors have already related AB A cc ep te d A rt ic le This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved to anxiety,2,3 stress,3,4 and hypervigilance.5 The combination of these factors seems to be additive, non-adaptive and may lead to an increase in the individual's likelihood to develop oral parafunctions and facial pain.25 Most reports in the literature about the frequency of AB were obtained by cross- sectional and retrospective self-reports;8 however, due to the risk of memory bias of patients and lack of information on their frequency, other diagnostic means were developed.17,26 In order to minimize the risk of bias, we assess AB frequency applying the EMA as reported in most recent studies.6,17,18,26 Sending questions in links by WhatsApp allowed checking the frequency of AB in real time for the two groups during the first six months of the orthodontic treatment. The association of the web-based survey program (mentimeter) with popular social media is an interesting and easy way for the implementation of EMA in researches. The mean total response rate to the 10 alerts sent was 71.52%, being similar between the two groups: 72.88% for group OA and 70.16% for group FA. These values were lower than the mean response rate of 82.1±9.2% from 15 alerts per day found in another study,17 yet they are in agreement with the mean compliance rate per day of 60% of alerts, with a minimum of 12 daily alerts.6 The evaluation of AB behaviors in this follow-up period of 6 months resulted in a mean total frequency of 53.5% and 51.3% for groups OA and FA, respectively. It can be noticed that the frequency was similar between groups, regardless of the type of orthodontic appliance used (Table 2). Other studies also reported the mean frequency of AB in a sample of healthy young adults (non-orthodontic patients), dental students, and observed frequencies of 28.3%17 and 48%,18 both related to data collected for seven consecutive days using EMA strategy, applying the BruxAppR (BruxApp Team, Pontedera, Italy). In the latter, that value of 48% at baseline decreased to 26% after one month.18 A similar AB frequency was found in another study, 49% of the sample (114 patients) beginning orthodontic treatment self-reported awake bruxism behavior.27 When the frequency of AB behavior was analyzed between groups, there was no significant variation in this frequency comparing each period to the baseline data (Table 3). Therefore, the frequency of AB did not differ, regardless of the type of appliance used. A cc ep te d A rt ic le This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved The paucity of the available literature regarding the influence of the type of orthodontic treatment on the frequency of AB make it impossible to have comparison parameters. Concerning the effects of aligners with episodes of SB, a tendency to increase in SB after the first and third months of treatment has been reported,14 in contrast to another study which revealed that, after the first month of treatment, the patients showed a significant reduction in the number of SB episodes, and after three months the values returned to baseline levels.9 To date, there is no pre-established standard or cut-off value to define who has or does not have AB. In addition, many types of oral habits are part of this behavior, which complicates the analysis and interpretation of data. When considered a specific type of behavior, the habit of slightly touching the teeth and clenching the teeth were the conditions most frequently reported, with a total mean frequency of 40.1% and 9.5% in group OA, and 38.4% and 7.6% in group FA. Lower prevalence values (14.5% for touching the teeth and 3.7% for clenching the teeth) were reported in samples of individuals not undergoing orthodontic treatment.17 In another study, 20% of participants answered that the teeth were in contact, 14% with mandibular clenching, 3% reported clenching the teeth, 1% grinding the teeth, and a month later these values were 11%, 13%, 2% and 1%, respectively.18 Although the methodology used to characterize the frequency of AB in this study considered the frequency of four behaviors, higher values were found for the “slightly touching the teeth” from the baseline, regardless of the type of appliance. Possibly, such differences can be explained by the use of an online evaluation technique and by directly sending the questions: "What option below best describes the contact of your teeth?" Other studies employing different methods without suggesting this possible teeth contact, may not stimulate their attention to this behavior.17,18 However, regardless of the recording method, it should be noted that the same behavior has been reported as more prevalent in individuals with complaints of chronic pain related to TMD.28 It is interesting to note that, although no differences were found in the inter group analysis for this behavior, the intra group evaluation has shown a significant decrease in its frequency right after appliance placement (T0-T1), from 45.1% to 25.6% in FA group (Table 4). Conversely, the OA group showed a constant habit frequency during the entire study.A cc ep te d A rt ic le This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved This aspect deserves some comments. The stimulus caused by FA tends to be more impacting on the system, in general, based on the presence of brackets, wires, and all the discomfort caused by the apparatus. At first, this sudden intraoral new condition might alter the individuals’ sensory perception, leading to a natural and unconscious protection against it, leading to decreasing the behavior. This condition, however, is lost after the patient becomes used to the new intraoral condition, returning to the baseline parameters, before the appliance placement. For OA group, this effect does not seem to exist, i.e. the interocclusal insertion of a thin plate does not seem to change the initial frequency of light touch behavior reported by EMA. Considering that the groups did not differ in the initial levels of anxiety, stress, hypervigilance, catastrophizing and reports of facial pain, we can infer that possibly the awake bruxism behavior in these patients could be influenced only by the presence of orthodontic appliances. Thus, this pioneer study contributed to understand a little more about the impact of orthodontic therapy over the initial phase of treatment. Limitations As a limitation of our study it should be highlighted that the sample was composed of young individuals, other age ranges might be investigated as well. GeneralizabilityGeneralization of the outcomes should be performed with caution as the patients were healthy and young. 4-CONCLUSION The type of orthodontic appliance (orthodontic aligners or conventional fixed appliances) did not influence the frequency of awake bruxism behavior during the initial stages of orthodontic treatment, although the behavior of slightly touching the teeth seems to be reduced right after placement of FA. Yet, the most common behaviors were slightly touching the teeth and clenching the teeth.A cc ep te d A rt ic le This article is protected by copyright.
