Abstract
ABSTRACT Pain experienced during various stages of orthodontic treatment has been clearly outlined in scientific literature. Research has indicated that pain is a significant obstacle to orthodontic treatment and a common cause for discontinuation of treatment. Surprisingly, this particular area, which necessitates attention in both clinical practice and research, is often overlooked, as evidenced by the limited number of publications on the subject compared to other areas of orthodontic research. Numerous methods have been utilized to address orthodontic pain, including both pharmacological and nonpharmacological approaches. One nonpharmacological method for pain management is transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), which has been widely utilized, although its application in orthodontics has not been extensively described. A limited number of studies have been found through a search on PubMed. The use of TENS could potentially be a valuable option in managing orthodontic pain. This review aims to compile the existing published literature on TENS therapy.
