Do you know someone who is 16-19 and recently had their braces taken off?
Share your story about having braces in this new research project:
Patients can help researchers and practitioners improve care pathways and treatment outcomes by sharing their experiences and insights.
Ciara Scott is a current PhD student at RCSI and a Specialist Orthodontist.
She is conducting a research study exploring Irish adolescent orthodontic patients’ views on their orthodontic care pathway and how young people think we can enhance this. What we learn from young people in this process will inform the development of resources to support adolescents in the future on their orthodontic care pathway.
If you are aged 16-19 and have recently had your braces taken off, your experience is valuable and you can volunteer to take part! Taking part involves a short interview.
