description Dental anxiety is defined as the response to a stressful stimulus that is specific to a dental context.

The results of the study should give some indications to dentists to better understand the presence of a greater or lesser anxiety associated with orthodontic treatment in order to provide an appropriate assistance and, eventually, to help patients in developing coping strategies.
