Abstract：Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of MOOELI,an oral digital remote solution,in orthodontic image collection.Methods Totally 27 patients who received orthodontic treatment with bracket-free invisible aligners in Hospital of Stomatology,Xi'an Jiaotong University from March to June of 2023 were enrolled.Intraoral images were si-multaneously captured using MOOELI and conventional digital close-up photography during mid-term follow-ups of orthodontic treatment.Orthodontists analyzed and compared the differences in image information collected by the two methods,including aligner status,the occlusal state of the teeth(maxillary and mandibular dentition midline,anterior overbite,sagittal and horizontal molar occlusal relationships),the condition of the periodontal tissue(gingival health,den-tal calculus)and state of attachments.Results The methods of MOOELI and conventional digital close-up photography showed no statistical differences in the images collected in terms of aligner status,maxillary and mandibular dentition midline,anterior overbite,sagittal and horizontal molar occlusal relationships,gingival health,anterior dental calculus or the state of attachments(all P＞0.05).However,MOOELI had significantly lower rate than conventional digital close-up photography in the assessment of sagittal occlusion of molars,as well as the dental calculus in the premolar and molar re-gions(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The images collected by MOOELI can practically meet the clinical requirements,par-ticularly for monitoring key indicators such as anterior tooth alignment and attachment status.These results sug-gest that MOOELI is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
