Summary

This study examines how orthodontic screening is carried out in public health care. Researchers will assess the treatment needs of children and teenagers aged 6 to 16 and ask them about how their dental alignment affects their quality of life. The goal is to understand current screening practices and identify areas for improvement.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help improve how orthodontic treatment needs are identified in public health settings, potentially leading to better resource allocation and patient outcomes.
What could go wrong
