somewhere in the mid-nineties there were only 125 orthodontists in the city of Mumbai (population of one crore). perhaps the number of orthodontists must have increased by now but the poulation has also increased.
In many semi-urban and rural areas orthodontists are not easily available.
Are there any guidelines regarding the ratio of orthodontists with respect to the population and GDP’s.
Academically inclined GDP’s can learn orthodontics and provide some or complete orthdontic services.
