Determinants of orthodontic treatment need and demand: a cross-sectional path model study.

CONCLUSIONS: The proposed model displays the unique effect of each included measure on treatment need and demand, explaining a large proportion of the variance in perceived treatment demand and professionally assessed treatment need. The model would hopefully lead to improved and more cost-efficient predictions of treatment need and demand.
