By means of an online questionnaire, the opinions of dental health practitioners on 'orthodontics' were assessed on the basis of 10 statements. There were 523 responses, 51% of which were from general practitioners, a relatively large number from orthodontists (31%) and 18% from other dental health practitioners. Concerning indication of treatment, dental health prior to treatment and the value of straightened teeth, opinions were clearly positive, somewhat more among orthodontist than among general practitioners. Patients knowledge concerning orthodontics and the negative side of orthodontics and their trust in the durability of orthodontic retention are all considered to be more positively present in patients by orthodontists than general practitioners. 1 in 3 non-orthodontists considered carrying out orthodontic procedures in the general practice to be fine. More than 90% of orthodontists disagreed. Female dental practitioners more often consider orthodontic treatment to belong with an orthodontist. The number of women was equally divided across the different groups.
通过在线问卷，基于10项陈述评估了牙科保健从业者对“正畸学”的看法。共有523份回复，其中51%来自全科医生，正畸医生的回复数量相对较多（31%），其他牙科保健从业者的回复占18%。关于治疗指征、治疗前的口腔健康以及牙齿矫正的价值，看法明显是积极的，正畸医生的看法比全科医生更为积极一些。正畸医生认为患者对正畸学的了解、正畸学的负面情况以及他们对正畸保持器耐用性的信任，在患者中比全科医生认为的更为积极。三分之一的非正畸医生认为在全科诊所开展正畸程序是可行的。超过90%的正畸医生不同意这一观点。女性牙科从业者更常认为正畸治疗应由正畸医生进行。不同组中女性的数量均等。
