Prevalence of the Wire Syndrome
The prevalence of wire syndrome is the number of people affected by the wire syndrome at a given time in a given population. The prevalence rate is calculated by dividing this number of cases by the size of the exposed population. This study was design as a cross-sectional study conducted in the Orthodontics Unit of the Nice University Hospital from July 2022 to July 2023.
