Virtual appointments

This group will receive the same information as the control group with additional virtual appointments at 1 week, 2 weeks and 6 weeks after fitting a Twin Block appliance. These will be scheduled and held via BlueEye Clinic (RedZinc Services Ltd.), a web-based GDPR compliant platform that allows patients to access a remote video consultation via a link sent to the participant/parent's device. The content of these appointments will follow a template that addresses the patient's experience, difficulties faced and how to overcome these, and would incorporate use of visual aids to highlight expected changes over the duration of wear. The appointments would be held in the late afternoons (after school).
