Abstract

This work is aimed at the development of an electronic quiz-style game, available as an application for smartphones. The game was developed by a multidisciplinary team composed of dentistry and information technology professionals, who created a method of education compatible with the adolescent public, aiming to reduce oral problems arising from the prolonged use of fixed orthodontic appliances. As a result, a game was available free of charge at the smartphone application store, firstly tested by a team of orthodontics and periodontics clinicians, as well as computer professionals, who approved the quality and quantity of information provided to users as well as the usability of the application and clarity in the functions for the target audience.
