Abstract
Observed differences between public and private orthodontists and dentists performing orthodontics indicated clearly the need to develop a specific measure for countries with a publicly funded system of oral health care. The measure showed good reliability and validity for face, content, and construct among Finnish orthodontists and dentists performing orthodontics. The predictive validity of the measure to assess actual patient compliance remains to be tested.
