Search results were recorded separately for all keywords and separately for 26 countries with sufficient data. The mean of all search results is taken and a Google Trends Value (GTV) is obtained for the countries. These data are correlated with population, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and knowledge of English (English Proficiency Index – EPI) in countries. Pearson correlation test was used for correlation values between Population, GDP and EPI with Google Trend values. </p> <p style="text-align:justify;">
Results: According to the table, the highest GTV were observed in United States (65.33); lowest GTV were observed in France. According to the statistically analysis, a positive correlation was found between GTV with both population and GDP and EPI values. Finally, a positive correlation was found between GDP and EPI values and this positive correlation was statistically significant(p<0.05). </p> <p style="text-align:justify;">Conclusion: No significant relationship was found between the interest in orthodontics and the population. There is a significant positive correlation between the Gross National Product and the level of knowledge of English. </p>}, number={4}, publisher={Oğuz KARABAY}
