Summary

This survey studies how satisfied children and their parents are with removable functional appliances—devices that help correct bite problems and improve muscle function in the face. Researchers at Nice University Hospital are asking patients and parents to fill out questionnaires about their experience before, during, and after treatment. The goal is to understand cooperation and perceived effectiveness of these orthodontic devices.
