Questionnaires are versatile tools that allow data to be collected from different respondent groups for a range of purposes. This article outlines the use of questionnaires in orthodontics for research, quality improvement and clinical purposes. We highlight the importance of questionnaire design, particularly choosing the type of response to generate useful data and approaches to psychometric testing to measure validity and reliability. Orthodontic-specific questionnaires that have been developed and tested aresummarized.
CPD/Clinical Relevance: Questionnaires are a useful tool for collecting information about patient concerns, experience and outcomes; this information is essential to improve the quality of care. It is crucial that valid and reliable tools are used to optimize the usefulness of information.

Questionnaires are instruments for gathering data to answer a specific question. Questionnaires enable information about behaviour, attitudes, preferences, opinion and intention to be collected from a range of different respondent groups, including patients, families and carers, the public, health professionals and service providers, such as commissioners.1
Questionnaires can be used in research, quality improvement or to gather clinical data. They are tools for collecting data, rather than a specific methodology, so can be used in a diverse range of research study designs, including randomized controlled trials, observational studies and surveys, as well as for audit and service evaluation. A single questionnaire provides cross-sectional data for a group of people at a specific point in time, while repeat questionnaires allow data to be collected longitudinally.2,3
Questionnaires can be used in healthcare research to assess:4
