RESULTS:Univariate analyses showed that self-perceived aesthetics (P<0.001), examiner-assessed aesthetics (P = 0.01) and treatment need (P<0.001), socioeconomic status (P<0.001) were significantly associated with orthodontic treatment seeking, but gender (P = 0.22) and DMFT (P = 0.41) were not. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that poor self-perceived aesthetics (OR = 16.7; 95% CI: 4.17-61.9), more severe malocclusion (OR = 3.4; 95% CI 1.64-7.14) and better socioeconomic position (OR = 39.1; 95% CI: 5.47-280.54) significantly influenced the decision to seek orthodontic treatment.
