Abstract

A survey of the attitudes of patients and parents to active orthodontic treatment was undertaken at two centres. Questionnaires were distributed which enquired about pre-treatment appearance, reactions to the proposed treatment, experiences during treatment, perceived benefits of treatment, and values placed upon treatment. The results indicated that both patients and parents were satisfied with the treatment received, and pain from the appliance and its appearance were the main discouraging features.
