Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the self-perception of orthodontic treatment need among individuals presenting to Batman University Faculty of Dentistry with orthodontic complaints and to examine its relationship with age, gender, referral source, and aesthetic perception. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 150 volunteers aged 13–30 years who had not previously undergone orthodontic treatment. The Aesthetic Component (AC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) was used to assess treatment need, and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was employed to measure self-perceived dental aesthetics. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21.0 software. For non-normally distributed variables, the Mann–Whitney U, Kruskal–Wallis H, and Spearman correlation tests were used. Statistical significance was set at p 0.05). However, participants with complaints of dental crowding or jaw asymmetry had significantly lower VAS scores than those with other complaints (p<0.05). Conclusion: Self-perceived orthodontic treatment need appears to be independent of demographic factors but is influenced by the type of orthodontic complaint. Individuals with more visible aesthetic problems demonstrated higher self-perceived treatment necessity. These findings highlight the importance of considering patients’ subjective perceptions and awareness levels in clinical evaluations to enhance communication, compliance, and overall satisfaction with orthodontic treatment.
