Orthodontics emerges as a vital specialty, not solely for aesthetic reasons but also due to its implications for public health, given its prevalence and impact on quality of life. Despite the advancements represented by PNSB and the establishment of CEO, challenges persist in accessing public orthodontic treatment. The inclusion of these procedures in the secondary and tertiary levels of healthcare, endorsed by the Ministério da Saúde, marks an important step. However, continual evaluation of the efficiency of these services and the pursuit of enhancements are crucial. Furthermore, it is essential to recognize that access to orthodontic treatment extends beyond oral health, encompassing broader implications for the general well-being of the population, including individual self-esteem and societal presentation. Therefore, sustaining research activities, fostering collaboration among administrators and healthcare professionals, and implementing effective strategies are fundamental to promoting equity in access to orthodontic care (and other dental specialties), thereby advancing towards a more equitable, egalitarian, and consequently, healthier society.</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> Flavio Andre Fialho Weldnon Alves Cunha Oliveira Copyright (c) 2024 LIBERTAS ODONTOLOGIA 2024-07-10 2024-07-10 3 2
