Summary
This study tested whether people who are more physically active feel less pain after getting orthodontic spacers (small rubber rings placed between teeth before braces). 94 healthy volunteers aged 15-49 wore activity monitors and reported their pain levels for a week. Researchers wanted to see if higher daily step counts led to less pain and faster recovery.
