Much as we'd like, it's not often we have the opportunity to gaze into a crystal ball and see the future of orthodontics (or anything else, for that matter). Research and Markets of Dublin, Ireland, offers the next best thing with its new report, "Orthodontic Patient Volume Trends: US Market Assessment."
The report includes results from an online survey of 99 orthodontists conducted between February 25 and March 3, 2008, regarding trends in patient volume for orthodontic braces and Invisalign.
It assesses patient volume trends over the past three fiscal quarters, the impact of the economic downturn on the industry, and future trends in case starts.
The report will run you $2,500.
