A recent study commissioned by insurance provider Barmer sheds light on the prevalence and nature of orthodontic treatments among children in Rhineland-Palatinate. The research, conducted by experts at Dresden’s Technical University, focuses on the use of orthodontic devices—both removable and fixed—to correct dental misalignments.
The study aims to answer key questions such as the typical age at which children require braces, regional differences in orthodontic practices, and whether gender plays a role in the frequency or type of treatment. These insights could have significant implications for how orthodontists in the region approach dental care.
Dunja Kleis, Barmer’s regional head, is set to unveil the study’s findings at a 10 a.m. event today, where she will discuss how these results specifically impact residents of Rhineland-Palatinate. The research delves into various orthodontic techniques, including the use of braces made from materials with a circular cross-section, offering a comprehensive overview that may shape future orthodontic recommendations in the region.
