Impact of variations in access to orthodontic treatment among Medicaid populations: Oregon and Washington patient perspective Public Deposited

Objective: The purpose of this study was to quantify the incidence of disparities and adverse psychosocial impacts, as reported by the patient, in accessing orthodontic treatment.

Conclusions: Though not all were statistically significant, measured variables, age, gender and race, demonstrate trends that suggest access to orthodontic care may be associated with disparities and adverse psychosocial circumstances in children. Further studies should be conducted to further support these results.
