Results: A significant rise was seen in PI, GI and OHI-S scores from time period T1 to T3.


Conclusion: A deterioration in oral hygiene was seen during the study period, highlighting the importance of assessing the oral health during fixed orthodontic treatment. Thus, prompting the necessity to remind the patients about the crucial role of maintaining optimal oral health.
