Methods: A consecutive sample of 400 adults seeking orthodontic treatment at two different types of government dental practices in Makkah, (Free treatment), was examined for orthodontic treatment need using of the IOTN. The self-perceived need for orthodontic treatment was also determined using the aesthetic component (AC) of the IOTN. The IOTN score and the incidence of each variable were calculated statistically. Results: Supplanting, increased overjet, and Class II and III malocclusion were the virtually common orthodontic issues in this hypothesis. High percent of orthodontically treated patients at Makkah clinics were in great need of treatment (P=0.003).

The IOTN is a valid screening tool that should be used in orthodontic clinics for better services especially, in health centers that provide free treatment.
