Asked by Haylie

Can someone help me formulate a research paper topic about braces?
Answered by Writeacher
Braces? Do you mean orthodontic braces? Or wrist or knee or ankle braces? Or what?
Answered by Haylie
Yes orthodontic braces
Answered by Writeacher
You could research any of the following:

~ compare/contrast the number of children (under 18) who went through orthodontia in 1960-70 vs the number in 2005-2015

~ compare/contrast the number of adults age 25+ who went through orthodontia in _______ vs __________. (You pick the decades.)

~ list, describe, and explain the changes in the mechanics of orthodontia since 1955.

There are undoubtedly many others, but those should get you started ... and maybe give you your own idea.

Now, I am wondering what you want to research? Materials used? techniques used? effect on teeth?
Answered by Haylie
Hm, maybe techniques used. It's an argumentative research paper so maybe my substantial claim could be that one technique is the best. So how would I form this into a question?
