Summary

This study aims to manage anxiety and fear experienced by young patients during orthodontic treatments through the use of virtual reality glasses, ensuring a more comfortable procedural experience.

The study included twenty-six patients who visited the faculty of dentistry. Thirteen patients in the study group were shown animation through virtual reality glasses during the procedure. The 13 patients in the control group underwent standard treatment procedures without virtual reality glasses. Both groups were asked questions from the CASI and Trait Anxiety Inventory at the beginning of the procedure, State Anxiety Inventory at the beginning and at the end of the procedure, and pulse rate, saturation and VAS values were recorded.

The implementation of virtual reality glasses in orthodontic treatments has been shown to effectively manage anxiety by distracting patients from what is actually happening.

This study shows that virtual reality goggles reduce the anxiety experienced by patients during orthodontic treatment. These results offer a different treatment process that can increase treatment comfort in clinical practice.
