Popis:	An online teledentistry service was tested for eight months to determine whether it could help to reduce the high level of inappropriate orthodontic referrals to consultants and provide general dental practitioners (GDPs) with quick access to advice that would enable them to tackle a wider range of cases themselves. Six GDPs took part in the trial and were interviewed after it had been running for four months. The most important conclusions from the interviews were that the process of sending cases was quite straightforward, that teledentistry was a good way of getting advice and that it was popular with both patients and their parents. The GDPs enjoyed the experience and felt that there had been significant benefits, especially in educational terms.
