“…When only those studies using the DHC were compared, the frequency of treatment need in the present population was higher than those reported for Finns [ 21 , 23 ] and Kuwaiti citizens [ 25 ], but smaller than that reported for male Asians [ 15 ] and Saudi citizens [ 33 ]. (Table 4 ) Different selected sample sizes and age ranges within the evaluated young adults might have contributed to the reported differences in normative orthodontic treatment need.…”

“…Previous studies in young adults indicated that normative orthodontic treatment need ranged from 1.4% to 71.6% [ 15 , 17 - 28 , 33 ]; however, different indexes were used in the studies (Table 4 ). Some of these studies have even included young adults with a history of previous orthodontic treatment [ 18 , 20 , 21 , 25 , 27 ].…”

“…Although sex seems to be the most studied covariable, findings still are contradictory. In a previous study, males were assessed by professionals as having need for treatment significantly more frequently than females [ 23 ], but others do not support this difference [ 21 , 25 ]. Also, some studies have shown that females are more selective in their self-perception than males, generally valuing dental appearance higher than males [ 2 , 39 ].…”

Background: Previous studies on orthodontic treatment need in young adults have shown that up to 50% had malocclusions that needed orthodontic treatment. The aims of this study were to assess the normative and self-perceived need for orthodontic treatment using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) and to determine if the treatment need levels were influenced by sex, age and socio-economic status (SES) in a sample of Peruvian young adults.

Objectives: Orthodontic treatment need has often been assessed in child populations, but few studies employing internationally-recognized indices have been conducted in adult or young adult populations. The aim of this study was to determine the orthodontic treatment need of a young adult population in Spain by means of the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI), the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) and the need perceived by the patients. Study design: A cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted in a broad, representative sample of 671 adults aged between 35 and 44 years using health centers in the Valencia Region of Spain, following the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). Results: Orthodontic treatment was required by 31.3% of the sample according to the DAI and 19.2% according to the IOTN (DHC). The orthodontic treatment need perceived by the patients was 21.1%. On relating treatment need to different variables, significant differences in patient perception were encountered by gender, as women perceived a greater need (23.9%) than men (14.4%). Significant differences in previous orthodontic treatment history were found between middle/high (15%) and low (9%) social class and between secondary/tertiary (14%) and primary (3.3%) education. Conclusions: There was no agreement between the treatment need assessed objectively by the indices and that perceived by the patient, or between the indices themselves. The decision to undergo orthodontic treatment can depend on socioeconomic and psychological factors and on values and principles that do not easily lend themselves to objective measurement. Key words:Orthodontics, epidemiology, adult, malocclusion.

“…Need for orthodontic treatment based on indexes has normally been higher compared to the individuals' perception of their treatment need. [5][6][7][8] Thus, need for treatment according to indexes is not necessarily the determinant of orthodontic treatment and an individual's perception of the dentofacial complex as well as psychological need for orthodontic treatment are of greater importance. Overall, treatment can be affected more by demand rather than need.…”

Although the demand for orthodontic treatment is affected by understanding the needs for treatment and costs, patients' concerns do not always match with experts' assessments. Studies have reported various degrees of correlation between patients' perception of need for treatment and treatment needs based on abnormalities. Yet, no study has reported the correlation to exceed 60%, and treatment need indexes normally ABSTRACT Background: Although the demand for orthodontic treatment is affected by understanding the needs for treatment and costs, patients' concerns do not always match with expert's assessments. To gain a clearer understanding of children's orthodontic needs, treatment recommendations and how an abnormality can affect a child's quality of life is critical. Information on the relationship between assessment of need for treatment and an individual's perception of need for orthodontic treatment is of great interest for orthodontic service providers. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between need for orthodontic treatment according to Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) and individuals' perception of need for treatment in 11-14 year old students. Methods: In this study, 240 primary and middle school students from the four educational districts of Shiraz were selected through multi-stage random sampling and completed the study questionnaire. Then dental examination was done by the dentist according to DAI index to determine the student's need for orthodontic treatment. Results: According to the results, 73.8% of the students had DAI score of13-25 (little or no need for treatment), 15.2% had DAI score of 25-30 (specific malocclusion with elective need for treatment), 4.4% had DAI score of 30-35 (severe malocclusion with extreme need for treatment), and 6.7% had DAI score exceeding 35 indicating their serious need for orthodontic treatment. The total mean score of DAI was 23.57. Conclusion: The results revealed a significant relationship between the students' perception of need for treatment and professional assessment of need for orthodontic treatment based on DAI index (P = 0.002).
