Interceptive orthodontics in practice: a 5-year population-based study
The results from this large cohort study on interceptive orthodontics provide real-world evidence that although success rates were lower than in randomized trials, the outcomes reflect routine care conditions. The findings highlight the importance of compliance, appliance selection, and treatment timing. The dataset offers a foundation for future longitudinal evaluations of long-term outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
