Objective: To document the frequency of various classes of Angle’s malocclusion and its treatment need among children of both gender between 13-17 years age attending government high schools in Peshawar District. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Khyber Medical University Institute of Dentistry. Period: Jan 2020 to Nov 2021. Material & Methods: 900 patients of both genders between the ages of 13 and 17 were used in the current investigation. A performa was used to record malocclusions e.g. Angle's classification, overjet, overbite, open bite and cross bite. For various malocclusions, the Dental Health Component (DHC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) index was reported. Results: We looked at 900 students between the ages of 13 and 17 whose guardians had signed a written consent form. Among the 900 students who were examined, 60% (540) were males, and 40% (360) were females. 175 individuals had normal dental health, 420 had class 1 malocclusions, 265 had class 2s, and 40 had class 3s. Overjet was excessive in 210 cases and reduced in 53. Overbite was excessive in 201 cases and reduced in 34. In 185, there was an open bite. The difference was significant (P < 0.05). In 489 cases, DHC grade I and II, 310 cases, grade III, and 101 cases, grade IV, and grade V. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The most frequent malocclusion is class 1. DHC grades I and II were more frequently observed in patients. Malocclusion can be identified using the Dental Health Components (DHC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN).

Purpose: This study was designed to assess the attitude and level of awareness of patients toward malocclusion and orthodontic treatment. Materials and methods: The study consisted of a sample of 237 (113 males and 124 females) outpatients attending the dental clinics of Ahram Canadian University. A questionnaire containing 15 questions concerned with the knowledge and attitude regarding orthodontics was filled and the survey data was collected. Simple descriptive statistics was used to compare questionnaire responses for the whole sample, while Chi-square tests were applied for gender comparison. Result: There was a significant difference between male and female awareness. The descriptive statistics showed that patients had higher level of knowledge for questions regarding orthodontics as a specialty, but lower level of knowledge for questions regarding malocclusion. Conclusion: Females were found to be keener to undergo orthodontic treatment than males. Cost and duration of treatment may present as barriers for orthodontic treatment. Also, there was deficiency in the information related to the ill effects caused by malocclusion and oral habits.
