Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Dental Public Health

Background:

  • Weekend orthodontic appointments address patient scheduling challenges.
  • Many patients require flexibility due to work or school commitments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess patient demand for Saturday orthodontic appointments.
  • To determine patient commitment levels for weekend appointments.

Main Methods:

  • A 17-question survey was administered to 199 adult orthodontic patients.
  • Data on demographics, work impact, and appointment preferences were collected.
  • Logistic-regression Chi-square test was used for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • 77.4% of patients would utilize Saturday appointments.
  • Preferred times were 7-10 am and 10 am-12 pm.
  • High commitment was shown: 82.6% unlikely to miss/reschedule, 75.3% would choose Saturday-open practices.

Conclusions:

  • Strong patient demand and high commitment for Saturday orthodontic appointments exist.
  • Patients with lower incomes and those working over 40 hours/week are primary candidates.
  • Practices should consider offering Saturday appointments to meet patient needs.
