Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining suitability of an orthodontic treatment. The method is implemented with at least one computational device and involves posing one or more queries relating to a potential patient. One or more responses to the queries are received and the suitability of the orthodontic treatment is determined based upon the received responses. Advantageously, the potential patient may conveniently perform a self-determination relating to the suitability of the orthodontic treatment prior to arranging a formal assessment with an orthodontist.
