Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Time (duration) of effective tooth brushing will be measured in the form of mm:ss (mm: minutes, ss: seconds) at the first and second visit after enrolment by means of an electronic digital stopwatch. For the statistical analyses, these data will be converted to seconds (continuous outcome). | — |

| Presence or absence of visible plaque (Costa et al., 2007) will be documented according to the modified (Williams et al., 1991) Silness-Löe Index (Silness and Loe, 1964; Al-Anezi and Harradine, 2012) and the O’Leary Index (O’Leary et al., 1972; Al-Anezi and Harradine, 2012) before and after tooth brushing at the first and second visit after enrolment. In case of visible plaque, the corresponding tooth surface will be coded as 1, whereas tooth surfaces will be coded as 0, if there is no visible plaque. Then the mean will be calculated by dividing with the total tooth surfaces measured. The percentage change of the plaque index (continuous outcome) before and after tooth brushing will finally be calculated and these values will be statistically analysed. Nominal baseline parameters will be assessed by means of a standardized questionnaire. Al-Anezi SA, Harradine NW. Quantifying plaque during orthodontic treatment: A systematic review.
