Clinical orthodontic experience of Liverpool undergraduates.
A longitudinal study has been carried out over a 3-year period to monitor the effects of a change in emphasis in the clinical orthodontic training of undergraduate students. The change allowed them to treat more patients over a longer period of time with a greater variety and complexity of appliance, and to observe these patients into retention.
