Objectives: To evaluate the need of adults from a Peruvian town to undergo normative and self-perceived orthodontic treatment. Material and methods: The sample included 200 patients from a Health Center aged from 18 to 40 years old. The Dental Health Component (DHC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) was used to assess the normative need. The Aesthetic Component (AC) of IOTN and Oral Aesthetic Subjective Impact Scale (OASIS) was used for the self-perceived need. The chi-squared test and the Fisher’s exact test were used to determine statistical diferences. The relation between the instruments to measure the normative and self-perceived need and the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient were assessed. Results: 18.5% of patients had a “Definitive” normative need. 1.5% and 3% of the patients had a “Definitive” self-perceived need according to the AC and OASIS, respectively. No statistically important relation was found in the genre association (p > 0.05) with any instrument. A low correlation was found in the three indexes with a value of 0.304 (AC/DHC), 0.326 (AC/OASIS) and 0.338 (OASIS/DHC). Conclusions: Findings suggest that people’s self-perception is clearly opposed to the opinion of the specialist trained for this assessment.
