Abstract
In March 1989 the third stage of a major longitudinal survey examining the psychological, social and dental effects of malocclusion and the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment was undertaken. The aim of the research was to assess the benefit of receiving dental treatment with a particular interest in orthodontic treatment. The benefits investigated were dental, psychological and social. The project has involved researchers in several professional disciplines from locations in Britain and Europe.
