| Abstract | INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to evaluate patients', parents', and orthodontists' perspectives on orthodontic treatment duration and techniques for accelerating the rate of tooth movement. METHODS: Adolescent patients (n = 200) and their parents (n = 200), and adult patients (n = 50) from a multidoctor practice were personally surveyed regarding treatment duration and acceptance of appliances and techniques to enhance the speed of orthodontic treatment, and how much increase in fees they were willing to pay for these. Members of the American Association of Orthodontists were surveyed electronically regarding their willingness to use these techniques and appliances and the costs they were willing to pay for them. RESULTS: A total of 683 orthodontists replied to the electronic survey (7.5%). Approximately 70% of the orthodontists who replied to the survey were interested in adopting additional clinical procedures to reduce treatment time. No significant association was found between practice characteristics and interest in adopting clinical procedures to reduce treatment time. The invasiveness of the procedure was inversely related to its acceptance in all groups surveyed. Most orthodontists are willing to pay only up to 20% of their treatment fee to companies for the use of technologies that reduce treatment time, and most patients and parents were willing to pay only up to a 20% increase in fees for these approaches. Orthodontists thought that increases in the rate of tooth movement could pose a problem for fee collection. CONCLUSIONS: Orthodontists and patients alike are interested in techniques that can accelerate tooth movement. Similarities between all groups were found regarding the acceptance of different approaches to accelerate tooth movement and the percentage of the orthodontic fee that would be paid for these techniques. Less-invasive techniques had greater acceptability in all groups. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
