Adult orthodontics — who’s doing what?

Abstract: Although there are reports in the literature that the number of adult orthodontic patients is increasing, there are no comprehensive figures regarding the number of adults previously treated within the NHS and privately in the UK to compare our data with. This paper presents initial data relating to practitioners' estimates of the numbers of adults being treated in the UK.

As a result, it is not currently possible to determine how the demand for private care influences NHS care and waiting times.…”
