Objectives of the study
Hello,

I am a third year Graduate Orthodontic resident at the University of Manitoba. As part of my program, I am conducting a Master�s research project to assess the perception and importance of relapse. The project will also determine the necessity, value and desirability of re-treatment and will compare the differences between and within groups of patients, parents, lay evaluators, dentists and orthodontists. One aspect of my project involves a survey to evaluate post orthodontic relapse and the perceived need/desire for re-treatment.
