The subjective orthodontic treatment need assessed with the aesthetic component of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need

Conclusion According to the AC of IOTN, almost 3.6% of the evaluated Yemeni subjects had a ‘borderline need’ to a ‘great need’ for orthodontic treatment. If the answers of those who said that they should have orthodontic treatment are considered, the need would increase to two-fifth (41.8%) of the sample.
