“…In addition, there is no correlation between the IOTN grade of a presenting malocclusion and functional or quality-of-life improvement after treatment, and some of the functional indications for orthognathic treatment are not included 37. The Index of Orthognathic Functional Treatment Need was developed to overcome some of these limitations 37,38…”

ObjectiveTo assess and compare the severity of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need among young Saudis receiving free treatment at public dental practices versus those paying for treatment at private practices.Materials and methodsThis retrospective study evaluated the records of 300 patients (179 females, 121 males; age 13–21 years) treated at orthodontic clinics from 2013 through 2015. The public sample was selected from orthodontic clinics at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University (KSU); the private sample was selected from five private orthodontic clinics in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The records were examined for the severity of malocclusion and for orthodontic treatment need using the Dental Health Component of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need. The prevalence of each occlusal discrepancy and the Dental Health Component grade were recorded. The severity of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need were compared between practice types, age groups, and sexes with the chi-square test.ResultsDisplacement, increased overjet, and Class II and III malocclusion were the most common orthodontic problems in this study. Patients attending public clinics at KSU generally had more severe malocclusion than the patients attending private clinics. Seventy-seven percent of orthodontically treated patients at KSU clinics were in great need of treatment, compared with 58.5% of patients treated at private clinics (P=0.003). Among the patients with great treatment need, approximately 62% of male patients and 70% of patients ≤16 years of age were treated at KSU clinics, compared with 38% and 48%, respectively, treated at private clinics (P<0.0001).ConclusionYoung Saudis receiving free orthodontic treatment at public clinics at KSU had more severe malocclusion with greater need of orthodontic treatment than the patients paying for treatment at private clinics.

“…When the IOFTN used to asses the functional needs in the present sample, subjects with Class III sagittal skeletal patterns or malocclusions demonstrated higher percentages of grade 5 IOFTN scores (62.2% and 59.6%), compared to Class II sagittal skeletal patterns or malocclusions (18.9% and 21.2%). [26] The distribution of functional needs between malocclusions or sagittal skeletal patterns were also different ( P < 0.01). [26]…”

“…Based on these findings and study models, we extracted the index of orthodontic treatment need (IOTN), which was showing a definite treatment need with dental health component (DHC) of grade 5 and esthetic component of grade 8. Moreover, we also calculated the index of orthognathic functional treatment need for this patient, which is derived from DHC of IOTN,[91011] and it was grade 5.2. Meaning that this patient with same cephalometric features and skeletal deformity as well as occlusal traits in adulthood would have needed orthognathic surgery; however, considering the growing state of patient, we decided to proceed with the Twin Block appliance therapy.…”

Treatment of class II malocclusion and impacted canines with two-phase orthodontic treatment

Twin Block appliance has been widely used for the treatment of Class II malocclusions in growing subjects, due to its versatility and its highly compliance nature. There are certain clinical indications where functional appliances can be used successfully in Class II malocclusion as in a growing patient. In using these appliances, the main concern is compliance of patients. This appliance simplifies the progression of treatment with fixed orthodontic braces later on. In this case, a 14-year-old adolescent was treated with Twin Block appliance followed by fixed appliances for finishing and detailing. The design and treatment effects are demonstrated in this case report.
