The aim of this paper was to assess the health gain in orthodontics achieved by practitioners in the General Dental Service (GDS) and Hospital Dental Service (HDS) and the relative probabilities in achieving health gain in relation to the presenting occlusal trait. In a sample of 1225 patients in the GDS in England and Wales and 1365 cases in the HDS different levels of health gain were found. Occlusal traits are most likely to be treated more successfully in the HDS. Seven out of every ten patients in the HDS were likely to achieve health gain as opposed to four out of every ten patients in the GDS.
本文旨在评估普通牙科服务（GDS）和医院牙科服务（HDS）的从业者在正畸治疗中取得的健康改善情况，以及与所呈现的咬合特征相关的实现健康改善的相对概率。在英格兰和威尔士GDS的1225名患者样本以及HDS的1365个病例中，发现了不同程度的健康改善。咬合特征在HDS中治疗成功的可能性更大。HDS中每十名患者中有七名可能实现健康改善，而GDS中每十名患者中只有四名。
