The manpower distribution and the amount of treatment undertaken by the three orthodontic treatment providing groups was calculated on a national and regional basis. There was marked regional variation in the distribution of orthodontic manpower. It was found that the total orthodontic treatment rate correlated with the distributions of specialist practitioners and general dental practitioners, but not with that of the salaried services. The manpower distribution of specialist practitioners and Community Orthodontists was also related. These results are discussed in terms of the effect of manpower distribution upon demand for treatment and the amount of treatment provided by the orthodontic services.
在国家和地区层面计算了三个正畸治疗提供组的人力分布及所开展的治疗量。正畸人力分布存在显著的地区差异。研究发现，正畸治疗总率与专科医生和普通牙科医生的分布相关，但与受薪服务人员的分布无关。专科医生和社区正畸医生的人力分布也有关联。根据人力分布对治疗需求和正畸服务所提供治疗量的影响对这些结果进行了讨论。
