Seeking Research Assistance

My name is Benjamin Gaffey. I'm a retired specialist orthodontist based in Kiama, and I'm conducting independent research into what orthodontic treatment actually costs Australian and New Zealand families, and whether those costs are fair.

I'm working toward 500 responses to make the data statistically meaningful enough to support policy recommendations on transparency and affordability in orthodontic care.

The survey is open to any family with children aged 10 to 18, takes about 8 minutes, and is completely anonymous. Everyone who completes it goes into a draw for one of 20 x $50 Rebel Sport vouchers.

This research has full ethics approval from the University of Tasmania Human Research Ethics Committee (H0040668).
