Abstract
Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRN) are optimal settings for research to be conducted in the real world of clinical practice where the majority of care is provided. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network (Network), which is one of the largest and most successful Dental PBRNs, and its impact on orthodontics. The Network is currently in its third seven-year round of funding and has conducted 58 studies to date. There are over 8,000 members enrolled in the Network. The largest prospective cohort study on anterior open bites was conducted through the Network. The Network provides resources and opportunities to engage clinicians in practice-based participatory research where clinical studies with direct impact on clinical outcomes are conducted.
