Abstract:
The validity of two currently used orthodontic screening programmes was investigated and compared to an objective measure of need for orthodontic treatment. The results indicate that existing orthodontic screening methods underestimate the numbers of children with severe malocclusions. The use of a more objective measure of orthodontic treatment need is recommended.
