Among 209 patients under treatment, 22.5% needed very severe treatment (grade5), 33% severe(grade4), 4.36% average (grade3) and 8.2% needed less or no treatment (grades1&2). The number of girls being treated was more than boys (66.5%); most of the patients under treatment were 12 years old (67 persons= 32.1%); the most common causes of orthodontic treatment were contact displacement 57.4%, overjet 22.5 and deepbite 17.7%.
