From 2023 to 2028, the forecasted number of scientific publications in orthodontics in the UK remains largely stable, showing a minuscule decline. The count decreases slightly from 41.47 publications in 2024 to 41.45 in 2028. Compared to 2023, this indicates a marginal downward trend in annual publications, with near-zero variation year-on-year.
