Thirty-eight full-time and 38 part-time unselected brace wearers treated during a 7-year period were interviewed in a retrospective study to determine actual brace-wear compliance. Actual compliance was found to be lower than reported by patients during clinic visits and was much lower than reported in previous series. Only 15% of patients were highly compliant. On average, patients wore their braces 65% of the time they were instructed to do so. The reasons for low compliance in brace wear are unclear.
在一项回顾性研究中，对在7年期间接受治疗的38名全职和38名非选择性佩戴支具的兼职患者进行了访谈，以确定实际的支具佩戴依从性。结果发现，实际依从性低于患者在门诊就诊时报告的情况，且远低于先前系列研究中的报告。只有15%的患者高度依从。平均而言，患者在被指示佩戴支具的时间里，实际佩戴时间仅为65%。支具佩戴依从性低的原因尚不清楚。
