“…The ICON weightings are based on the opinion of an international panel of 97 orthodontists from nine countries. [3] The Index of Complexity and Orthodontic treatment Need has been shown to be a reliable and valid index for assessing orthodontic treatment need in other poulations [2][3][4][5]. Its employed in the late mixed dentition and permanent dentition.…”

“…Evidence in medicine is there that treatment provision differs by geographic location, despite the fact that prevalence of the underlying disease does not vary [7][8][9]. Thus it is important to validate an index which shows correctly identify treatment need with the suggestions of orthodontic specialists who are practicing within that particular geographic location [2,3].…”

“…In the past many studies are conducted and various orthodontic indexes are being proposed to search out treatment need and to mark complexity of patient's malocclusion [2][3][4][5][6][7]. The index of orthodontic treatment need (IOTN), Peer assessment rating (PAR) and the index of complexity, outcome, and need (ICON) are perhaps the most commonly used orthodontic indexes [8][9][10].…”

Background: Assessment of orthodontic treatment need is a complicated issue. As integral part of oral health care programs, Orthodontic treatment needs to be based on information of treatment needs. The evaluation of malocclusion is the essential component in establishing the diagnosis and treatment need of the orthodontic patient.Taking decision of whether or not one should undergo orthodontic treatment, both the desire of the patient (and/ or parents) and the opinion of the orthodontist must be taken into account. One of the major problems in studying malocclusion is the availability of a suitable objective method for recording the occurrence and severity of orthodontic problem. Thus, orthodontic indices are used in clinical and epidemiological studies of malocclusion. The aim of this study is to determine the necessity and complexity of orthodontic anomalies by applying Index of Complexity, Outcome and Need (ICON) in Saudi population.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on dental casts of 150 patients (mean age 15.66±1.07) adolescents randomly selected from the northern border region of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Index of Complexity Outcome and Need (ICON) was applied to find out the orthodontic treatment need and initial stage complexity grades. The data was performed using the statistical software package IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0. Results: 80% of the patients needed some sort of orthodontic therapy. More than 65% of the cases were classified as being difficult and very difficult to treat. Conclusion: It was concluded that a high number of cases were in need of the orthodontic therapy and majority of the patients undergoing orthodontic treatment were in difficult grades.
