Combining the Dental Health component and Aesthetic component the results indicated that 59.9% of children had “very little” orthodontic treatment need and 40.1% of children had “great to moderate need” for orthodontic treatment. The examiner’s aesthetic rating scored 74.8% of children in the most attractive end of the scale (1,2,3,4) while 94.3% of children scored themselves on this end of the scale. The most common deviant occlusal traits contribution to the Dental Health component were found to be: crowding followed by crossbite and increased overjet.
