The period since the war has seen a vast increase in the amount of orthodontic treatment provided for children in the United Kingdom. This is currently given by practitioners within the general dental service, orthodontists in the former local authority dental service and by consultants and their teams in the hospitals. The training programme for consultants has been evolved but there is a need for appropriate training programmes for other orthodontists. While we have reason to be proud of the present situation, there is room for improvement.
