Convincing the patient to undertake an orthodontic treatment is one thing, convincing him to follow the relevant recommendations is an- other. Obtaining patient compliance is not easy, especially in the case of younger patients. Furthermore, den- tists have an unfortunate notorious association with pain and suffering, which might induce anxiety in a pa- tient. Again, VR can be applied here to divert the attention of the most dynamic patients. Another aspect worthy of mention regarding the benefi ts is the intellectual retention of instructions on hygiene proce- dures, for example, which might be dependent on support. It is plausible to assume that verbal instructions on hygiene may be forgotten once the patient has left the clinic. Most orthodontic practices provide only leafl ets, but few patients retain these or follow their recommendations. A VR video featuring the practitioner or team members might have a much greater impact on follow-up care at home. The message could be pre-recorded and viewed on demand by the patient. The aims of this for- mat is that it can provide different intellectual integration between information, which is connected to a stream of visual and auditory stimuli. The clinician might wish to promote the patient retaining the provided information in an easier way to achieve greater clinical suc- cess. For example, youngsters might remember their favourite movie line by heart, as opposed to information provided by their dentist. This is be- cause it demands less of youngsters to remember words that are con- nected with pictures. For the health practitioner, VR may yield an unexpected, but welcome, advantage in terms of professional education (Fig. 6). Many of us have not been able to attend a confer- ence on the other side of the world for logistical reasons. In the near fu- ture, it will be possible to attend an orthodontic congress and listen to international speakers while sitting comfortably at home. Similarly, the demonstration of a new therapeu- tic technique will be easier with a VR video rather than plunging into a detailed explanation in an article without any illustration. The trainer can record his or her procedures with a 360° camera to allow the student to learn through immersion the techni- cal movements and ergonomics of the technique being taught. It would be an understatement to claim that VR provides an alternative to conventional styles of learning. Al- though it is far from perfect, it allows a wider spread of knowledge and a totally immersive pedagogy. VR is changing the way we work, learn and treat our patients. We have seen over time an evolution of orthodontic care by improving patient comfort. We are not just dealing with a set of teeth fi xed into a bone mass append- ed to a skull, but with a person whose positive experience will inevitably lead to clinical success. Similarly, orthodontic education has evolved over time, since the transmission of knowledge is no longer done with a Kodak Carousel slide projector, but with sophisticated presentation soft- ware, incorporating photographs and clinical videos. VR is paving the way to a higher degree of evolution regarding how to understand our environment, whether it is an en- vironment of care or work. As with tourism or cinema, VR ofers many opportunities in the fi eld of health. Orthodontics is entering into a 360° revolution focused on the patient experience.
