Pediatric Orthodontic Patient Perceptions and Adherence Survey Data

Martin Baxmann's dataset contains 316 questionnaire responses from children aged 8–16 and their parents/guardians regarding removable orthodontic appliances. The data includes patient-reported perceptions of motivation, treatment experience, and self-reported adherence metrics. The study was conducted retrospectively at a private clinic in Germany and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the association between age/gender and color-related treatment perceptions based on Likert-scale survey items.
• Modeling predictors of self-reported adherence (missed wear days, daily wear-hours) based on demographic variables.
• Comparing patient and parent/guardian responses to orthodontic treatment across different age groups.

Strengths

• Includes 316 patient and parent/guardian questionnaire responses, providing a moderate sample size.
• Contains specific outcome statistics, such as 60.7% agreement on motivation and 27.3% reporting missed full-day wear.
• Analysis includes adjusted regression models (e.g., OR 0.39 for age and missed wear) as detailed in the description.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single private clinic in Germany, which may reflect geographic and care-setting bias.
